Proto-Turkic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Usually considered to be simplex, however some theories have been thrown around:

  1. Németh and some other linguists derive it from *āt- (to take a step).
  2. Nişanyan suggests a derivation from *ad- (to seperate), however states that the morphology is not very obvious as there is no deverbal noun forming *-ak suffix.
  3. Hamilton puts forth the possibility of being derived from *yād- (to spread).[1]

Sevortyan's attempt at relating it with Proto-Indo-European *h₁ey- (to go) and Räsänen's attempt to link it with Korean 바닥 (badak) are unfounded.
