Etymology

Most likely a local Siberian word, maybe goes back en earlier *hözgēn . Derived from Proto-Turkic *özgē- (“an unknown verb”) +‎ *-n. According to the logic of Proto-Turkic initial-∅ and Proto-Tungusic initial-p; compared to Proto-Northern-Tungusic *pörȫ- (“?”), and Proto-Southern-Tungusic *pörägä- (“?”); whence also Orok пурэ- (pure-, “to rain”). ^[1]

Perhaps also related to Proto-Common Turkic *ögren, *örgen (“river, brook”) ^[2] and *özen (“river, brook”). ^[3]
