Lithuanian

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *kadaˀn, compare Latvian kad, Old Prussian kaden. Equivalent to kas +‎ -ada. Despite the external similarity with Sanskrit कदा ‎(kadā́, “when”), there are a number of formal difficulties. Firstly, the original form (as in Prussian) had a final nasal, and acute accentuation, evidenced in the derivative kadángi ‎(“since, because”) and dialectal kadù. Secondly, the lack of Winter's Law suggests Proto-Indo-European dʰ rather than d. However, a genetic connection with Sanskrit is still conceivable. Probably unrelated to Proto-Slavic *kogъda ‎(“when”).^[1]

Etymology 1
