Old Turkic
editEtymology
editUnknown, but considered foreign for phonological reasons.
- Clauson suggests a Tocharian origin,[1] however Vovin notes that the only recorded word for pig in Tocharian languages is Tocharian B suwo[2] from Proto-Indo-European *suw-on- (“pig”).[3]
- Doerfer considers the word to be of Hunnic origin.[4]
- Hamilton agrees with Ligeti on it being a borrowing from a Paleo-Asiatic language.[5]
- Räsänen considers a Chinese origin but like Cluson doesn't give a specific example.[6] He also points out Mongolian логш (logš, “pigsty”).[7]
- Thomson suggests a relation with Manchu ᡠᠯᡤᡳᠶᠠᠨ (ulgiyan, “swine, pig”).[8][9]
