Uncertain. Clauson suggest a possible borrowing from Sogdian on the basis of final -j, however gives no examples.[1] Nişanyan talks about a phenomenon seen in Old Turkic & Old Uyghur where there is a dialectal change between /z/ ~ /ʒ/ and suggests that it's a dialectal form of *küwiz, further connecting it to Turkish küf,[2] note also Turkmen köwzemek (“to dust”) possibly from *küwiz-e-.
