Proto-Turkic

Etymology

There have been two proposals for the etymology:

  1. A borrowing from Middle Persian hmʾk' (hamāg, all), it also has a secure PIE etymology and as such cannot be a Turkic or Mongolic borrowing. This would also explain the -a- instead of -u- seen in Old Turkic.
  2. A borrowing from Proto-Mongolic *kamug (all) from *kamu- (to gather) whence also *kamtu (together). Compare also Proto-Tungusic *kamur (together).

Noun

*kamug

  1. all, everything
