В значении ‘шар’, ‘мяч’ имеем, возможно, совершенно другое слово, случайно совпавшее по звучанию; ср. qoz, koz орех, qoza, koza кокон. A permutation from ‘mushroom’ q. v. In the meaning ‘sphere’, ‘ball’ there is probably a completely different word, which sound forms coincided by chance; cf. qoz, koz nut, qoza, koza cocoon.
