Proto-Turkic
editEtymology
editUncertain. However over the years multiple theories have risen:
- Clauson suggests a derivation *abïč (“an obscure root”) + *-ga.
- Nishanyan suggets a derivation *apa (“elderly male relative”) + *-ča (“diminutive suffix”), however note that the suffix was borrowed from Persians at a later date.
