Proto-Turkic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From *ad- (to seperate) +‎ *-ïr-, the root is not attested on its own.

Some like Erdal and Nişanyan suggest *ādïl- (to sober) and *ādïg (sober) are derived from the same root as well[1],[2] however some reconstruct an alternative *ād- (to sober) root on the bases of Turkish aymak, however that verb is attested at a very late date and may be a back-formation.

Clauson suggests *üdür- (to choose; to separate, scatter) is a variant of this verb, however this is unlikely from a phonological standpoint.

Verb

  1. (transitive) to separate
