Proto-Turkic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

    From *yogur- (to knead) +‎ *-ut. EDAL criticizes this based on semantics, however compare Ottoman Turkish [script needed] (yoğrulmak, to be curdled) passive form of *yogur- (to knead) and *katuk (curdled milk; vinegar, seasoning) from *kat- (to mix).[1]

    Metathesized to yogurt during the medieval period, compare *semri- and *sēkri- for similar phonological developement.
