Etymology

[edit]

From *yogur- (to knead) +‎ *-gan, the descendants point to a *yogurkan, this is due to a natural development of the consonant cluster *-rg- to *-rk-.[1] Clauson states that the semantics are not obvious, but may makes sense with *yogun (thick, dense) in mind.

Noun

[edit]

  1. (Common Turkic) blanket
