ko, /koː/, n. Third person animate interrogative, "Who".

usage: को तिथए?
/koːˈ tɪtʰəːj/
Who's there?

etymology: From SPMR कोण​, with analogy to तो, जो, equivalent to Maharashtri kao, ko, को; from Sanskrit कः
attestation: From 2050s, unclear as to when it overtook the SPMR counterpart. It is confounded further by the fact that the same orthography was widely used as a contraction for "koṇ", without actually contracting it in speech.
