Proto-Turkic edit

Etymology edit

From *kömür +‎ *-gen, the root word of which is obscure and may be a borrowing, Clauson suggests that Proto-Mongolic *kömeli (wild onion)[1][2] may be borrowed from the same source.

The medial consonant is uncertain, descendants suggest either the consonant *-b- or *-m-. Some sources also reconstruct the first vowel as *-e- instead of *-ö- due to an instance of kewürken in the DLT.

Noun edit

  1. wild onion or garlic
