𐱃𐰞𐰆𐰖
Old Turkic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Common Turkic *tāluy (“ocean”) itself borrowed from Middle Chinese 大流 (MC dajH|daH ljuw, literally “big current, stream”);[1] derivation from Common Turkic *tāl- (“to dive, to sink”) is likely folk etymology. Cognate with Old Uyghur t’lwy (taluy, “ocean”). Compare also Mongolian далай (dalaj), a Turkic borrowing.
