Etymology

According to Nishanyan, from Proto-Turkic *yẹ̄tgek (“saddlebag, bundle”), a derivation from *yẹ̄t- (“to tow”), whence یدمك (yedmek, “to tow, lead, tug”); on the other hand, Clauson suggests a derivation from an original root *yẹ̄tek,[1] rather than a secondary formation from the verb. Cognate with Azerbaijani yedək.
