    the greek word for dog sounds a lot like the portuguese word for squirrels

      The Ancient Greek word for dog was Kyon, related to Canis, Suns, Hund, etc...as the main Indo-European root for dog. Skylos comes from the Ancient Greek word for a puppy (Skylax) that then grew to become the general word for the animal. It's origins are contended and it may just be a Pre-Greek vocab word.

      @@hoathanatos6179 But its similarity to the Lithuanian word for _barking dog_ *skalikas* or the Irish word for _puppy_ *coileán* are striking. It could mean it's either of an obscure IE root or that the Pre-Greek word is part of a substrate language continuum

    Dog in Russian is either sabaka or pes. The latter being old Russian. Same for horse: loshad vs. old Russian of: kon.

      Why to you assume the guy is not from Russia?
      And he is right: «пёс» and «конь» are older than «лошадь» and «собака».
      P.S. You're obviously right saying they are used today to describe make and female; but the OP is right as well.

    Estonian: koer is correct.
    For those whom might be interested or having need for additional related terminology:
    * Canines - koerlased
    * Peni - dog in south Estonian, but widely known;
    * Kutsikas - puppy;
    * Kutsu; kutsa; kuts - dog in toddler's tounge (don't know if related with Hungarian, but would be reason why estonians should recognize that one);
    * Hundikoer (typically shortened to "hunt" in informal/casual language) - any "wolf-like" dog (eg: sheppards; sledge dogs; hounds; etc), in formal language "hunt" means "wolf" (germanic loan);
    * Krants - non-purebred dog (but informally also for male dogs);
    * Lita; hatt - female dog (and not only)...

    I can say that 'sobaka' and 'pes' are equally used words in Ukrainian, the thing is that 'sobaka' is feminine gender gramatically and 'pes' is a musculine, so if U know the gender of the dog U can use 'pes' for a male dog and 'sobaka' for a female dog, if U don't know the gender of the dog, U can use any word, but 'sobaka' would be preferrable. Same is right in Russian with the words 'sabaka' and 'pios'.

      @devetuccari That's just wrong. Have you ever heard of Occam's Razor? Anyway, there's usually no point in discussing with people like you, so I will just say for anyone else that comes across this comment, there is zero evidence for this claim, and also the most common words in a language (of which the word for dog certainly is one) are usually the most resilient to change, so there is little chance for north germanic tribes who came into little contact with the huns to all adapt that word into the language. Plus they must have had an old word for dog, where did it go? Plus where did the 'd' come from?

      Yes. The funny thing is, that variants of 'dog' mean a special breed in other Germanic languages: a Dogge in German is a Great Dane and dog in Dutch is a mastiff. On the other hand English still has the word 'hound' for various breeds of hunting dogs.
