Proto-Turkic

Etymology

Of uncertain origin. Proposals include:

  • EDAL reconstructs *kübeč in order to connect with Proto-Tungusic *gǖb- (to fume), Korean 굽다 (gupda, to bake) and Japanese 香る (kaoru, to smell good) under the disputed Altaic theory, however this form is phonologically impossible as otherwise the historical forms, which EDAL does not include, küδeč and küzeč would be inexplicable.
  • Nişanyan suggests a derivation *kǖd- (to wait) +‎ *-geč, this is phonologically improbable as the earliest instance should've been *küδgüč ~ *küzgüč.
  • Clauson instead searches for a foreign origin, possibly from Iranic, with the possible addition of *-č (diminutive suffix) (note however that said suffix is usually reserved for kinship terms)[1]. Compare Khotanese kūysa- (pot, jar) and Persian کوزه (kuze, earthen bottle) (whence Chagatai کوزه (küze), Turkmen küýze etc.) from Proto-Indo-European *kog- ~ *keg- ~ *keng- (peg, hook; claw) or *kew(H)- ("to bend").[2][3]
