Proto-Turkic

edit

Etymology

edit

Uncertain, however usually considered simplex. EDAL suggests a derivation from a hypothetical *or- verb suggesting *orun (place) and *ortu (middle) as cognates, however a derivation *or-du would have yielded *ortu not *ordu[1].

The rather uncommon consonant cluster *-rd- may also indicate a borrowing from an unknown source. Dybo suggests that the word is borrowed from Mongolic rather than the other way around[2].

Noun

edit

*ordu

  1. royal camp, palace
  2. (military) army camp
