аван
See also: авӑн
Chuvash
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain however there are a few theories:
- According to Yegorov borrowed from Persian آبادان (âbâdân), compare Uyghur [script needed] (obdan, “good”).[1]
- According to Fedotov borrowed from Arabic أَمَان (ʔamān, “safety, peace”).[2]
- Yegorov and Fedotov also suggests it may be derived from Proto-Turkic *ab-, the root of *abïn- (“to console oneself”) and *abït- (“to console”), compare Old Turkic [script needed] (abïnïq, “consolation”), Khakas абыт- (abıt-, “to lull, to spend time”) and Turkish avunmak (“to cope”).[1][2]
- EDAL accepts Turkish evet as a cognate and reconstructs a hypothetical Proto-Turkic *ebe-,[3] however such a root is unattested and is not reconstructed outside of EDAL.
