Comments: VEWT 184, EDT 942, ЭСТЯ 4, 114, Лексика 564. Turk. > WMong. ǯanu-, Kalm. zan- (KW 466). The Turkm. form is related to *jenč- 'crush' in ЭСТЯ 185; the latter has also a variant *janč-, and the Turkm. form may in fact reflect a contamination of these two roots.

Comments: JLTT 779 (Martin gives also the meaning 'bend the neck', obviously deriving the form from unag- 'hang around the neck' - but, as far as we know, this meaning is not attested anywhere, and the relationship is not evident at all). Accent reconstruction is not clear (both high and low tone variants are attested).
