Etymology edit

From Ottoman Turkish یورمك (yürümek, yürimek, to walk, advance). In Turkish, Old Turkic and different Turkic dialects; the verb was attested in different forms alternating between back or front vowels such as yorı-, yöri-, yüri- . Clauson regards all forms together, but notes that yorı- is attested earlier. From Proto-Turkic *yorï-, *yöri- (to walk). Altaicists compare to Evenki [script needed] (dūrē-, to walk, wander), Japanese 寄る (yoru, to come up, come near), Mongolian дүрвэх (dürvex, to flee, run away in fear),[1] but the Altaic theory is now widely discredited.

Cognate with Old Turkic -𐰘𐰇𐰼𐰃 (yüri-)/-𐰖𐰆𐰺𐰃 (yorı-, to walk), Azerbaijani yerimək and yürümək (to walk, go), Bashkir йөрөү (yöröw), Crimean Tatar yürmek (to walk, go), Chuvash ҫӳреме (śüreme, to walk, wander), Kazakh жүру (jüru, to go, move), Kyrgyz жүрүү (jürüü, to go, move, run), Turkmen ýöremek (to walk, go, advance), Tuvan чоруур (çoruur, to go), Uyghur يۈرمەك (yürmek, to move, walk), Uzbek yurmoq (to walk, go), Yakut сырыт (sırıt, to go) (caus. < *yorı-t).
