Proto-Turkic

Etymology

According to Wilkens, borrowed from Middle Chinese 凍 (tuwng, tuwngH, “to freeze; ice, cold”).‌ Compared by Altaicists to Proto-Mongolic *daxara- (“to freeze”) and Proto-Tungusic *doŋota (“cold, frost”) (Evenki доӈото (doŋoto)); Räsänen compares Finnish tankea, from Proto-Finno-Permic *taŋketa. However, the Altaic hypothesis is widely discredited and these words likely aren't related by inheritance but an early interaction in ancient times.

Verb

*toŋ-

  1. (intransitive) to freeze
