Comments: KW 408, MGCD 639. Cf. also (for the Daghur form) WMong. tobčilaɣur, Khalkha tovčlūr 'clavicle', Kalm. topčǝlūr 'das Schlüsselbein; das Vorderblatt des Pferdes' (KW 401) - probably a secondary contamination with tobčila-ɣur `buckle, clasp', a derivative of tobčila- `to buckle'. MMong. (HY) tobux 'knee cap' may be a Turkism (see Щербак 1997, 157).
