Etymology unknown. While Beekes prefers a Pre-Greek origin, according to Archigenes it is a Classical Syriac word. Perhaps this leads to the root ܩ-ܢ-ܝ‎ (q-n-y) equalling Arabic ق ن ي‎ (q-n-y) related to “acquisition”, “possession”, compare قِنّ‎ (qinn, “slave”), and ܩܢܐ‎ (qennā, “nest”) also means lupanar, perhaps “nest” is even the poof’s tewel. Another meaning strain could be seen in the meanings “to ensconce, to contain“ or “to assuage” of كَنَّ‎ (kanna), in the root of the related Arabic كِنّ‎ (kinn, “nest, refuge, shelter”), as either the male member is ensconced in a sex worker or his performance is soothing to the customer. The -αι- would only be the emphatic state ending, parallel to the common -այ (-ay) in Old Armenian Aramaic borrowings as in քուրայ (kʿuray), շղթայ (šłtʿay), փեսայ (pʿesay), ծնծղայ (cncłay), շուկայ (šukay) etc. (a quarter of them has this ending), and the δ-stem secondarily from a Greek adjective formation or as e.g. χλαμύς (khlamús).
