Hear this word all the time while watching popular Thai television

ไคโยตี

It seems to have the same etymology as a lot of Pali words so I was wondering what its ancient roots were

JJ.

Where there any Coyote dancers on stage at the time?

I'd guess you mean โคโยตี้ too, the word for the Coyote dancers. No ancient Pali roots for that one if so, it's straight from the file Coyote Ugly.

Oops, that should be "film" obviously, not "file"

And that should be 'Were', not 'Where'.
