Kuklys

Cf. Kūklis, Kūklius (see). The origin is not entirely clear. There may also be a later rework from *Kūklys, cf. lit. kūklỹs „šykštuolis; kas kitus spaudžia prie darbo; pikčiurna, bambeklis“ (LKŽ VI 799). But other connections are also possible, cf. lit. kūklinti „sukti, vyti“ ¹, kūkti „linkti, svirti, klupti, kumpti“ ² and so on.
