Proto-Tungus-Manchu: *siru-
Altaic etymology: Altaic etymology
Meaning: to rotate, roll, glide
Russian meaning: кружиться, катиться, соскальзывать
Evenki: sirun-
Even: hirun-
Negidal: siwun-
Literary Manchu: šurde-
Orok: siso-lo-
Comments: ТМС 2, 96-97, 430. The meaning in Manchu ('roll, rotate') is secondary < 'move quickly'. One is also tempted to relate here Manchu seǯen 'carriage' that can be treated as an assimilation < *siǯen < *sir-gen; all other TM forms (Nan. seǯẽ, Ul. seǯen etc., see ТМС 2, 137) in that case should be considered borrowed < Manchu.
