From Ottoman Turkish هانكی (hangi), خانغی (hangı, “which”), from earlier قنغی (kangı), from Old Anatolian Turkish (qanqï, “which”), from Proto-Turkic *kan-, *kań-, a derivation from the interrogative stem *ka-. Ultimately cognate to Turkish hani (“where”), Old Uyghur (kanu, “what, which”), Karakhanid (kayū, “what, which”), Bashkir ҡайһы (qayhı, “which”), Kyrgyz кай (kay, “what, which”), but its relation to the original word is obscure.
