Etymology 2

Ma Chengjun entered the article as a compound of gün and eniş, compare gün çıqgan yanı (“east”), gün patgan yanı (“west”), yelinküt yanı (“south”), gün engen yanı (“north”). However, güniş is an exact opposite of Salar yelinküt (“shadow”). So, semantically it is also possible to be from Proto-Turkic *küneĺ.
