Karakhanid
Etymology
Derived from بَجاماقْ (bačāmāq, "to fast") which is unattested in Karakhanid but is found within Old Uyghur as 𐽱𐽰𐽽𐽰 (bača-, “to fast”).[1] Usually considered native, however Caferoğlu suggests a derivation from Sogdian 𐼾𐼰𐽁 (pʾš, “fast”)[2] instead.[3] Unrelated to Old Uyghur (bašïq, “hymn”) from Sogdian 𐼾𐼰𐽁𐼷𐼸 (pʾšyk, “hymn”).
Noun
