kiitos (Fin.) - a thanks giving, a praise, gratitude; kiitma, kiita (Est.), kītõ (Livonian), kitmä, kittäq (Võru keel), kiittää (Fin), kiittiä, kiitteä (Karjala) - to thank, to praise, to express satisfaction; köszön(ni) (Hung.) - to thank.

Karjala: Elä kiirehä ičettäš kiittiä, vuattuače, konža muut kiitetäh - Don't rush to praise yourself, wait until others praise you.

hyöty (Fin.) - good, goodness;

hyvä (Fin.), hea, hää, hääd (Est.) - good.

<...>

N.B. Blessing (Hebraic kidosh, Finnish kiitos, Hungarian köszön) was given with the hand (Finnic käsi, kätt, Mari kid, kit, Akkadian qatu - from which also the Eng. verb: get)! The one who blesses either shakes hands or places his hand on the head of the one he blesses.
----------

N.B.B. Hebraic kidush, Finnish kiitos - was also (or may be: first of all) the wish of protection to the person: 'Be protected', 'Stay safe!'

Compare to:

[kidinnu] (Akkadian) - protection;

hide (Eng.),

etc.

-----------

N.B.B.B. Since the blessing must have referred to the God (like in Rus. spasibo (spasi Bog - God save ~ bless [you]'), there must also be a connection of Hebraic kidosh, Finnish kiitos to the God himself!

Compare further to:

Құдай (Kazakh), Хода, Ходай (Tatar), Xudo (Uzbek), Xuda (Persian), [khadak] (Tibetian) - Eng. God, Ger. Gott.
