yiyin

Salar

Etymology

From earlier *yayïn, from Proto-Turkic *yāy-ïn (“during summer”), from *yāy (“summer, spring”) and *-in (instrumental case).

Cognate with Old Turkic [script needed] (yayïn, “in the summer”), Dolgan һайын (“in the summer”), Bashkir йәйен (yəyen, “in the summer”), Kyrgyz жайын (jayın, “during summer”), Tuvan чайын (çayın), Yakut сайын (sayın).

Also refer to yi.

The verbal sense may be due to the common notion of the "seasons of one's life".
