"Kon-chuk" - ? Russian/Ukr. for horse whip ?

[Zielinski]

<Have any of you heard of this name, or is it just a family pet name for
this object?  It looks more Ukrainian than German in origen.

No. The origin of the word, which exists also in Polish (kanczug), is
Turkish (kanche). The very object is similar to, or identic with, the better
known nahajka.
