Comments: VEWT 1, 2, EDT 6, 8. Quite dubious is the hypothesis (see Аникин 71, TMN 4, 307-310, Clark 1977, 127) of the Turkic forms being borrowed from Mong. abuɣаči 'receiver' (all the more so because the Bur. form is not abāša, but abagša, i. e. reflecting -g-, not -ɣ-). See a detailed discussion in Stachowski 2001.
