Azerbaijani
Etymology
From Old Anatolian Turkish (ögey), from Proto-Turkic *ögey, cognate with Turkish üvey.
In Azerbaijani, non-initial /-g-/ has evolved to /-j-/, whereas in Turkish it has evolved to /-v-/, compare Turkish dövmek vs. Azerbaijani döymək, both from Old Anatolian Turkish (dögmek, “to beat”); Turkish sövmek vs. Azerbaijani söymək, both from Old Anatolian Turkish (sögmek, “to swear”). Turkish üvey (“step-”) therefore demonstrates a regular phonological development, while the Azerbaijani term unexpectedly preserves the intervocalic /-g-/ instead of the expected /-j-/, which would yield *öyey.[1]
