[edit]Etymology
[edit]Argued to be borrowed from Proto-Tocharian *wəkʷsó (“draft-ox”),[1] yet this is disputed.[2] Alternatively a Wanderwort.[3]
Without taking a side in the debate, it should be noted that Proto-Uralic *uškɜ (“ox, bull”) might be accepted as being derived from PIE, per the sources on the PIE root's page. This is relevant because geographically, Proto-Uralic would have been spoken somewhere between PIE and Proto-Turkic.
