һулаҡай

From a Mongolic source, from Proto-Mongolic *solagai (“left”) – compare Mongolian солгой (solgoj, “left, left-handed”).

The relationship of this Proto-Mongolic form to Proto-Turkic *sōl (“left”) is debatable – these two may be related native forms, or the Mongolic form may be a Turkic borrowing.^[1][2]
