Etymology edit

Uncertain. Probably a borrowing from a Turkic language; see Ottoman Turkish گوگرجین (güğercin) for list of possible cognates. The final schwa is unpredictable and possibly arose from analogy of words denoting agricultural pests usually ending in schwa, compare бөкүн (bökün), батхн (batxn), чон (çon), all of which end in schwa.
