довтлох

Mongolian

Etymology

From Proto-Mongolic *dobtul-, compare Daur dortulgw (“to rush someone”).

Perhaps from the same root as давших (davšix, “to advance”) and давхих (davxix, “to gallop”) which could be connected to Proto-Turkic *dabra- (“to hurry”), (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?) see Turkish davranmak.
