Proto-Turkic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Räsänen suggets that the word is from *čarla- (“to whet”) from *čar (“whetstone”) to which Róna-Tas agrees, pointing to the final long vowel in Hungarian.
Bang instead suggests a derivation from *or- (“to mow”). Yegorov refutes this and suggests that the Chuvash form is borrowed instead, ultimately being from Proto-Iranian *cr̥Hwáh (“horn”).[1] Ligeti rejects this, however he still suggests that the Iranic and the Turkic forms may be interrelated, he further suggests a derivation from *yār- (“to split”), however Róna-Tas rejects this from a chronological perspective.
