Бауырһаҡ

Etymology edit

From *bagïrsak (intestines, visceral organs of animals; deep-fried pieces of unleavened dough). Apparently related to *biagïr (liver).

Presumably, this dish was originally deep-fried in fat melted from sheep visceras, hence the semantic shift.

Cognate with Old Uyghur baγarsuq (intestines, viscera), Turkish bağırsak (intestine); Kazakh бауырсақ (bauyrsaq, pieces of deep-fried dough), Kyrgyz боорсок (boorsok), Southern Altai борсок (borsok, pieces of deep-fried dough), Uzbek boʻgʻirsoq, Tuvan боорзак (boorzak), бовурзак (bovurzak), etc.
