$ cygcheck -p Korn
Found 6 matches for Korn
mksh-53a-1-src - mksh-src: MirBSD Korn Shell (source)

POSIX only standardizes the POSIX shell sh (install man-pages-posix for docs).
Cygwin provides the dash POSIX compatible shell preinstalled as a base package.

Each shell provides its own builtins which may be similar, or have differnet 
names, and sufficient differences, to keep shell programmers in a job.
