face="Times New Roman Star"*bo"ke

face="Times New Roman Star"Altaic etymology

face="Times New Roman Star"a big snake

face="Times New Roman Star"большая змея

face="Times New Roman Star"bo"ke (MK)

face="Times New Roman Star"Лексика 180, EDT 324. Clauson doubts MK's derivation of bo"ke 'warrior' from 'big snake' (MK quotes a folk-tale about the snake with seven heads called bo"ke, and says that the warriors are called by it); but external evidence rather supports Kashgari's point of view. If this is the case, MMong. bo"ko" 'warrior, wrestler' (whence Evk. buku etc., see Doerfer MT 235) must be a Turkic loanword (see EDT ibid.).

face="Times New Roman Star"atan (dial.)

face="Times New Roman Star"adan

face="Times New Roman Star"atan

face="Times New Roman Star"EDT 60, ЭСТЯ 1, 202-203. Turk. > WMong. atan 'castrated camel'. Cf. also Yak. at 'castrated', atta:- 'to castrate' - homonymous with at 'horse', which is probably a secondary merger (the two roots obviously are to be kept separate).

face="Times New Roman Star"*Arkun

face="Times New Roman Star"Altaic etymology

face="Times New Roman Star"arqun (MK)

face="Times New Roman Star"a(r)g|un

face="Times New Roman Star"arg|yn

face="Times New Roman Star"EDT 216, ЭСТЯ 1, 171. Cf. also *arga-mak 'stallion' ( > WMong. arg|amag|, see Щербак 1997, 162). The verb arg|y- 'to run swiftly (of a well-bred horse)' is attested in Kirgh., Kum. and Tuva (see ЭСТЯ 1, 172). Turk. > Bur. arxan `bastard; cross-bred horse'. See also Аб. 1, 66 (Osset. arg|onaq 'well-bred dog' < Turkic).

face="Times New Roman Star"ijdi

face="Times New Roman Star"EDT 102, VEWT 37. The semantics must have been secondarily influenced by *eg- 'to bend, curve'.

face="Times New Roman Star"Altaic etymology

face="Times New Roman Star"a fabulous animal, unicorn

face="Times New Roman Star"сказочное животное, единорог

face="Times New Roman Star"qat (OUygh.: Chin.-Uygh. Dict.)

face="Times New Roman Star"(Xwar.) qat (Oghuz-nama)

face="Times New Roman Star"VEWT 241, TMN 4, 393, EDT 593. Somewhat dubious: the word may represent a rendering of Sanskr. khad.ga 'rhinoceros' (through Tokharian?); cf. OUygh. ktki 'id.'.

face="Times New Roman Star"c?ebic?

face="Times New Roman Star"c?emic?

face="Times New Roman Star"c?ebic?

face="Times New Roman Star"VEWT 105, EDT 399, Щербак 1961, 120. Cf. also Chag. c?iber 'mountain goat' (R). The reflex -b- in Turkm. and Uygh. may be an indication of original vowel length (?) Shcherbak's hypothesis of the word being borrowed < Iranian is dubious; Pers. c?apis?, c?apus? itself may well be borrowed < Turkic. In any case, the Persian form cannot be a regular IE match for Lat. caper. Cf. WH 1, 157, sub caper: "Np. c?apis?...lautlich unmo"glich"; indeed, Common Iranian -p- (< IE -p-) > Mod. Pers. and NW-Iran. -b-, in exceptional cases -v- (Расторгуева ЗИФ 114-115); a parallel for caper may perhaps be found in Sak. cau_, Osset. ca"v 'goat' (see Аб. 1, 307, Bailey 105). One should mention the problematic "Wanderformen" Rum. cap, Alb. tsap, Ital. dial. cappo, Crim.-Goth. stap, Slav. *ca//pъ 'he-goat'; cf. also Oyr. c?a:p 'one year-old roebuck' ( < Mong.?). See Трубачев 1960, 89-90, Orel 47 with literature; note especially Hubschmid's (1954, 49) hypothesis of the Turkic origin of this Wanderwort.

face="Times New Roman Star"VEWT 93, Лексика 139-140 (forms like Kaz. bu"ldirgen may reflect the same stem: *bu"ru"l-degen). Cf. also Mong. forms: bu"relgene 'калина', bo":ro"lgo"no" 'костяника' which may be of Turkic origin.

face="Times New Roman Star"*TAdgun

face="Times New Roman Star"большая, непересыхающая сезонно река

face="Times New Roman Star"tad|g|un (MK)

face="Times New Roman Star"EDT 453: Clauson suggests a reading tod|g|un (deriving the word from tod|- 'fill'), but there is no waw in the text.

face="Times New Roman Star"a k. of biting insect

face="Times New Roman Star"ku"c?u"k 'catkins, aglets, flower buds'

face="Times New Roman Star"Федотов 1, 264. Not quite secure, since the root is (folk-etymologically?) contaminated either with gec?e 'goat' or with *gu":c?u"k 'puppy'.

face="Times New Roman Star"a k. of hawthorn

face="Times New Roman Star"вид боярышника

face="Times New Roman Star"imiti (Rach.) (can also be read as ymyt)

face="Times New Roman Star"ДТС 209. Attested only in Old Uyghur, but having possible parallels in Tung. and Jpn. Turk. > Mong. imidi (the word has been pointed out by Stefan Georg, who found it out in Позднеев: Учебник тибетской медицины (1908 г.), 339); cf. also WMong. imdij, Khalkha imdij 'боярышник полуперистый' (БАМРС). The Turkic word is, of course, not from Mongolian (which certainly has a borrowed shape with -d- in front of -i).

face="Times New Roman Star"*sar-

face="Times New Roman Star"a k. of lattice or cross-beam
