Proto-Turkic

Alternative reconstructions

Etymology

Unknown origin. Most of linguistics have been divided to different opinions.

According to Bang-Kaup, the word derived from the unknown hypothetical verb root *yab- and *yam-. And he thinks the word is related to *yablak. The reconstruction of *yam- probably comes from the unknown relationship to *yaman (“bad”) (cf. Turkish yaman). At this point, Proto-Turkic *yaman should be a later form of *yabman, since if it is related to *yabïz and *yablak.

Vámbéry derives the word from the noun roots *yam, yaw and yab; which all they mean foreign, void, vain, bad; and reconstructs as *yabïs. But he doesn't know which suffix has the word equipped.

Räsänen, proposes a derivation from the noun *yabï, *yabu. Which means bad, grabber and greedy. But he doesn't describe which suffix has the word equipped, like Vámbéry.

Clauson derives it as *yab- like Bang-Kaup, but he thinks the word has an additional +‎ *-ïŕ suffix. It seems the suffix *-ïŕ creates a new noun from verbs, as in *söŕ and *tïgïŕ.

Dankoff and Kelly derives it from *yaw which means bad, weak.

Also the evolution is *yab(ï)- > yabïz > yavız according to Nishanyan.
