Built from
From Proto-Tai *qaːꟲ (“to kill”). Cognate with Lao ຂ້າ (khā), Tai Dam ꪄ꫁ꪱ, Lü ᦃᦱᧉ (ẋaa²), Shan ၶႃႈ (khāa), Tai Nüa ᥑᥣᥲ (xàa), Ahom 𑜁𑜠 (kha, “to cut; to kill”), Zhuang gaj, Nong Zhuang kaj. The spelling of the word was contaminated by ฆาต (kâat), which is a Pali loanword of similar meaning.
