𐰼𐰚𐰃𐰤
Old Turkic edit
Etymology edit
According to Kashgari, derived from Common Turkic *irk- (“to gather”).[1] Clauson doubts this, however he also states that, if true, the original meaning may have been "convener".[2] Tezcan suggests a derivation from 𐰼 (er, “man”), however there is a vowel mismatch.
