Proto-Turkic

Alternative reconstructions

  • *toŋaz (per Doerfer)[1]

Etymology

Possibly from earlier *tonkuz,[2] a derivation of *tonk- with unclear meaning and a suffix[2] If the word was present in Proto-Bulgaric (Oghuric), the form *toŋuŕ could be reconstructed. However, no form that can be traced back to Proto-Bulgaric (via cognates in e.g. Chuvash or Hungarian) is attested.

Vovin (2011:260-263) speculates on a link among Common Turkic *toŋuz, Old Chinese (OC *duːn, “piglet”), and Middle Korean (twòth, pig).[3]

Noun

*toŋuz

  1. pig (Common Turkic)
