түүх

Cognate with Buryat түүхэ (tüüxe) and Kalmyk түүк (tüük) with no attestations in Middle Mongol.

Connected by proponents of the widely discredited Altaic theory with Proto-Turkic *teb, see Bashkir тәүлек (təwlek, day and night). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

Ramstedt instead suggests a Chinese origin, but doesn't give any particular form.
