Proto-Turkic

Etymology

Usually considered to be simplex, however some theories have been thrown around:

  1. Németh and some other linguists derive it from *āt- (“to take a step”).
  2. Nişanyan suggests a derivation from *ad- (“to seperate”), however states that the morphology is not very obvious as there is no deverbal noun forming *-ak suffix.
  3. Hamilton puts forth the possibility of being derived from *yād- (“to spread”).[1]

Sevortyan's attempt at relating it with Proto-Indo-European *h₁ey- (“to go”) and Räsänen's attempt to link it with Korean 바닥 (badak) are unfounded.
