כ־ת־ןك ت ن
k-t-n “linen; linen garment” A West Semitic trade word for linen (Phoenician ktn, Hebrew kuttōnet 'tunic', Aramaic kittānā) reached Mycenaean Greek as ki-to, the khitṓn. Latin tunica may be the same word with its consonants rearranged, perhaps through Etruscan, but that is only a proposal.
