бөйөк
Bashkir edit
Etymology edit
Perhaps via Volga Turki from Ottoman Turkish بیوك (büyük, “big, large”), from Proto-Turkic *bedük (“big”) (compare Old Uyghur [script needed] (bedük, “big, large”), Old Uyghur [script needed] (beδük, “high”).[1]), from Proto-Turkic *bedü- (“to grow, become large”).[2]
The Native Kypchak development from that Old Turkic root is biyik (see Bashkir бейек (beyek, “tall, high”) for more cognates).
