Proto-Turkic: *imiti ( ~ *ɨmɨt)
Meaning: a k. of hawthorn
Russian meaning: вид боярышника
Old Turkic: imiti (Rach.) (can also be read as ɨmɨt)
Comments: 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).
