Possible Turkic root

Could the name of this instrument derive from the Turkic root yatay (from Proto-Turkic *yat-, meaning “to lie, to sleep”), meaning "horizontal"? It may have come from the word yatagan, with the suffix -ğan or -ağan (Ottoman Turkish ـغان) being a habitual suffix, indicating repeated action. 98.123.38.211 16:27, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
