- *tьrkati (formally expected)
Etymology edit
Vasmer presumes onomatopoeic origin. Snoj derives it from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tr̥H-kе́h₂-ti, from a k-extension of *terh₁- (“to prick, pierce”) (whence Proto-Slavic *terti). Possible influenced by *tъrkъ (“sudden move, shift”). Related to Lithuanian tùrkti (“to scour, to sweep”) (obsolete), perhaps tur̃kti (“to resonate, to rasp (of sound)”).
Verb edit
*tъ̀rkati impf[1]
- (North Slavic) to shove, to throb, to prod
- (South Slavic) to rub, to scrub
