Proto-Turkic: *bĀń-

Turkish: maja 'fleshy part of the palm' (Vidin, Németh 1965, SDD)
Tatar: majmaq 'stable, steadfast' (of an animal's paw, hoof), dial. pajpaq (КСТТ) 2
Uzbek: pajpɔq 2, 'camel's foot', dial. mъjǝlǝk 'mitten' (Фармонов 19)

Comments: VEWT 323. Cf. also Oyr. majrɨk 'стаптываться' etc. Forms with the meaning 'footwear' are explained by Budagov as compounds with an iranism (paj - baɣ "foot bandage"), which does not seem convincing; we are dealing rather with a dialectal diffusion of the derivative *bāń-mak. Cf. TMN 4, 275, Шипова 49, Аникин 110, 382, 458.
