бойондороҡһоҙ

Bashkir

Etymology

From *boyunduruq-sïz (“without a yoke”), from *boyun-turuq (“yoke; any piece of clothes or harness that is related to neck”), from Proto-Turkic *bōyn (“neck”).

Compare Karakhanid [script needed] (boyunturuq, “yoke”);^[1] Kyrgyz моюнтурук (moyunturuk, “yoke”), Azerbaijani boyunduruq (“yoke”), Uzbek boʻyinturuq (“yoke”), Turkish boyunduruk (“yoke”); also Khakas мойдырых (moydırıx, “collar”), Tuvan моюндурук (moyunduruk, “collar”), Yakut моойторук (mooytoruk, “neck scarf; a white line around a dog's neck”).

Borrowed from a written non-Kipchak source - the specific sense of "yoke" appears to be a Karakhanid innovation. The native Bashkir development would be *муйындырыҡһыҙ (“without a yoke”), see муйын (“neck”). Note that Bashkir uses a different term for yoke — see ҡамыт.
