Reconstruction:Proto-Turkic/tïŋla-

This Proto-Turkic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

• *tiŋle-

From *tiŋ (“reason, mind”) +‎ *-la (“denominal suffix”). *tiŋ might be a loanword from Middle Chinese 聽 (theng, “to listen”) yet its back vowel & variant initial *d- make such a derivation difficult (Clauson, 1972:522).

Also compared to Proto-Tungusic *ǯiŋ-, Proto-Mongolic *ciŋla- (“to listen”). (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?)

Oghuz descendants have the front vowel variant.

*tïŋla-

1. (transitive) to listen
2. (transitive) to hear

   Synonym: *ẹĺit-

3. (transitive) to consider, mediate
