Proto-Turkic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

The form *bōń, suggested by Rasanen and ESTJa, is fixed by Chuvash and North Siberian descendants and the initial m- in some descendants.

Going off DLT, Clauson and Nishanyan reconstructs it as *bōyïn instead.

ESTJa also suggests a derivation *bod (stature) +‎ *-ïn, however this is morphologically impossible, as not only is there no *-n denominal noun suffix, the suffix that does exist has fourfold vowel harmony, ontop of that no descendent phonetically points to it.

Compared to Proto-Tungusic *moń- (neck) by Altaicists.

Noun

[edit]

*boyïn

  1. (anatomy) neck
