قانی قاینامق

From قان (kan, “blood”) +‎ ـی (-ı, possessive suffix) +‎ قاینامق (kaynamak, “to boil”), literally “for one's blood to boil”. This idiom is probably of Common Turkic origin, as can be seen by the large number of cognates such as Azerbaijani qanı qaynamaq (“to feel affection for someone”), Bashkir ҡан ҡайнау (qan qaynaw, “to get filled with anger”), Crimean Tatar къан(ы) къайнамакъ / qan(ı) qaynamaq, Kazakh қаны қайнау (qany qainau, “to get excited”), Kumyk къаны къайнамакъ (qanı qaynamaq), Turkmen gany gaýnamak (“to get excited”), Tatar кан кайнату / qan qaynatu (“to get filled with anger”), Uzbek qoni qaynamoq (“to get filled with anger”).
