талига

Bulgarian

Unclear. Cognate with Serbo-Croatian та̀љиге pl, Slovene tolíga, Czech taliha within Slavic and Hungarian taliga, Turkish talika in other languages.

Native derivation presumes origin from obsolete Proto-Slavic *tel- / *tol- / *tal- (“to bear, to undergo”) +‎ -ига (-iga), from the same root as Bulgarian теле́ (telé, “calf”), Lithuanian tiltas (“bridge”). In that case, Hungarian, Romanian and Turkish cognates would be Slavic borrowings.
Borrowed from Turkic (or possibly Mongolian), cognate with the Turkish term. Also attested as Old Church Slavonic телѣга (telěga), Russian теле́га (teléga), Romanian teleagă with root -е-.
