There is evidence that the later form of this root may have been √ÑGOTH. See ᴺ✶kottō for a discussion.
Another variation, √KHOT “be wroth, quarrel; hate” appears in notes on root formations (PE18/62, 85, 87), but its only derivative ✶ok(h)tā could just as easily come from √KOT(H).
In order to retain all the derivatives from The Etymologies, this entry assumes that the root form remains √KOTH.
