Etymology edit

Earliest attested in Chagatai adaš "namesake". This term could have derived from at "name" + -daš "name" + "reciprocity suffix".

Note, however, Old Uyghur adaš,[1] aδaš,[2] from Proto-Turkic *ădaĺ (friend, companion). It is debatable if the former could have developed from the latter or emerged independently; the first version seems more plausible, though.

Compare to Uzbek adash (namesake), Uyghur ئاداش (adash, friend; namesake).

  • IPA(key): [ɑˈðɑʂ]
