Uncertain relation with Proto-Mongolic *toxusun (“dust”):
- Gombocz connects this word with Proto-Mongolic *toxusun (“dust”) and with *toprak.
- Ligeti suggests a connection through a common ancestral language, however, the Altaic hypothesis is now widely discredited.
- Nişanyan also connects this word with Mongolian Proto-Mongolic *toxusun (“dust”), which he suggests is a borrowing from Turkic.
