Ottoman Turkish
Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Turkic *tïlak (“clitoris”); equivalent to دل (dil, “tongue”) + ـاق (-ak, noun and adjective diminutive suffix). The change from front to back vowel predates the earliest written record in the 11th century: see Turkish dil, which retains the front vowel. Cognate with Azerbaijani dıllaq.
