Comments: Turk. > WMong. sauqa, sauɣa, sauɣad (L 677) (VEWT 406, Лексика 349-350; Щербак 1997, 165; Doerfer TMN 1, 345-346, ЭСТЯ 7). An attempt of a Turkic etymology for Mong. *saw-ga, hardly satisfactory ( < *sab- 'hit' or 'obstruct') see in Eren 1972; the Late Avestan origin of the Mong. word (suggested by Doerfer in TMN and supported by Менгес 1979, 135-136) is quite dubious.
