Proto-Turkic edit

Etymology edit

Räsänen suggets that the word is from *čarla- (to whet) from *čar (whetstone) to which Róna-Tas agrees, pointing to the final long vowel in Hungarian.

Bang instead suggests a derivation from *or- (to mow). Yegorov refutes this and suggests that the Chuvash form is borrowed instead, ultimately being from Proto-Iranian *cr̥Hwáh (horn).[1] Ligeti rejects this, however he still suggests that the Iranic and the Turkic forms may be interrelated, he further suggests a derivation from *yār- (to split), however Róna-Tas rejects this from a chronological perspective.
