Etymology

edit

Usually read as *us- however Ercilasun argues against this and suggests *os- instead, compare also *osug (a way of doing something; comparison between two objects; the changing of one object to another).[1]

If the above is true the homophonous *us (mind) is unrelated.

Verb

*us- or *os-

  1. (Common Turkic, transitive) to assume
