This morpho-lexical type corresponds to a diminutive of Latin caseus 'cheese' and originally meant 'small cheese'. As the map shows, it can especially be found with the generic meaning 'cheese' in Romansh (cf. DRG 3, 444-450, under chaschöl), but also in part of Ladin (Val Gardena) (cf. Map chaschöl) and beyond the study area, e.g., in Venetian (casuòla; cf. EWD II, 126) and Occitan (cf. FEW 2, 456, under caseolus).
