сэлэх
Mongolian
editPronunciation
editEtymology 1
editSeemingly specific to Khalkha, most other Mongolic languages (including dialects of Inner Mongolian) use the cognate of умбах (umbax, “to dive”).
Perhaps a corrupted form of Proto-Mongolic *selbi-, compare Buryat һэлихэ (helixe, “to row”).
Compare also the name of Selenge river, attested since Old Turkic times.
