Etymology

Unclear, no reliable etymology can be posited.

According to Altaicists; this form is 'no doubt archaic' (older than *burun) and is cognate with Proto-Mongolic *kamar (“nose”) (Mongolian хамар (xamar)), Evenki оңокто (oŋoqto), Korean 코 (ko) and Japanese 嗅(か)ぐ (kagu). Although proposed forms match semantically, this type of comparisons are not reliable and scholarly consensus is against Altaic theory.

Northern Altai (kanžïr, “beak”) is from Mongolic хошуу (xošuu) and unrelated to forms below despite semantic and sound similarities.
