Etymology

Cognate with Southern Altai сарлык (sarlïk), Khakas сарлых (sarlıx); probably borrowed into Mongolic languages such as Mongolian сарлаг (sarlag).

Derived by Bazin from *сар (*sar, “butter”) +‎ -лык (-lık), deriving the former from саржаг (sarjag, “butter”). [1]

However Stachowski rejects this etymology, and connects the word to Southern Altai сарадак (saradak, “a year old wapiti fawn”) (and cognates), which he ultimately derives ultimately from Proto-Turkic *čara.[2]

Thus the word would be a doublet of шары (şarı, “ox”), however Tuvan ш- (ş-) is usually taken to be the regular reflex of Proto-Turkic *č- rather than Tuvan с- (s-).
