[edit]Reconstruction notes
[edit]Whether this root had a long or short vowel is a matter of contention. Here, it is taken as with a short vowel following the short voweled variants found in modern reflexes.
Etymology
[edit]Uncertain. Some etymologies listed in the literature include:
- Yegorov (1964) ascribes Chuvash туй (tuj) to "12th century Turkish" (Middle Turkic) *tuy ("assembly, crowd, congregation") and refuses a connection with *to- (“to be satiated”) for Chuvash.
- Doerfer (1968) - and citing him, Clauson (1972) - suggests a semantic shift of "royal tent camp" > "aggregation" > "feast" > "wedding" / "marriage" to explain the two different meanings associated with this root. In Doerfer's work, the etymology suggested by Räsänen (different than the one referenced in this page) is declared untenable, citing historical forms for Old Turkic.
- In the same entry, a potential linking of this root to *tuy (“clay, loam”) is discussed. This supposed etymology is seconded with the potential parallel of supposed Old Turkic 𐽼𐽰𐾁𐽶𐽲 (pʾlyq /balïḳ/, “city, settlement”) < *balïk (“mud”). This potential relation assumes a priori that two meanings are related.
- Räsänen (1969) assumes two meanings to belong to different roots and derives düğün (*doń-gün) from this root.
- Nişanyan (2002-) suggests a derivation from *to- (“to be satiated”).
In Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk (1072), Maḫmud al-Ḳašġarî writes down that [the] Oghuz people do not know this [word.] This is most likely the case due to Oghuz branch not preserving the primary sense of military camp, which is what the Karakhanid word translates to in Arabic.
