Altaic etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Altaic: *kábó
Meaning: enclosure
Russian meaning: огороженное место
Comments: The root is rather difficult to distinguish from *k`ăp`ù 'barrier'. There also exists MJ kòfòrì 'district, county' - which is considered by most authors a loanword from MKor. kò'ắr ( = kòwắr), see e.g. JLTT 457; the loan must have occurred already after the merger of -f- ( < *-p-) and -w- in Japanese, which can explain the orthography. altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-mong,altet-tung,altet-kor,altet-jap,altet-reference,

Khalkha: xijd
Buriat: xīd

Comments: Владимирцов 272, as well as DO 420 compare the MMong. word with MTurk. kebit (ДТС 290) 'canteen, shop' ( > Russ. кибитка, Kalm. kiwde), which, according to VEWT 244 is borrowed from Sogd. qpyδ id. Loss of -b-, though, as well as a pronounced religious meaning in Mong. make this derivation rather improbable; we are rather dealing with a -d-derivation (standard plural or collective suffix) from an original *keji 'enclosure'. monget-prnum,monget-meaning,monget-rusmean,monget-wmo,monget-mmo,monget-hal,monget-bur,monget-kal,monget-ord,monget-reference,
