Proto-Turkic

edit

Etymology 1

edit

Relation to Armenian խոյ (xoy, ram) is uncertain and possible loaning both ways have been discussed with no consensus reached.[1]

Some sources consider Oghuz forms to include a supposed diminutive suffix *-un,[1][2] however such a suffix does not exist[3] and it instead appears to be a developement from *-ń-, compare etymology 2, *bẹńi (brain), *köń- (to burn), *tuńak (hoof) and *kańak (cream).
