böğür

• IPA^(key): /bø.ýɾ̝̊/
• IPA^(key): /bø.ǿɾ̝̊/ (colloquial)

From Ottoman Turkish بوگور (böğür, “flank, hypochondrium”), from Proto-Turkic *bögür (“kidney(s)”).[1] The original sense was displaced by böbrek, a derivation from the same root, see further cognates there. Compare also Proto-Mongolic *böxere (“kidney(s)”), Mongolian бөөр (böör, “kidney”), possibly an early Turkic borrowing,[2] or according to the now widely discredited Altaic theory, a cognate.[3]

Cognate with Old Uyghur [script needed] (bögür, “kidney”), Karakhanid [script needed] (bögür, “kidney”), Azerbaijani böyrək (“kidney”) and Azerbaijani böyür (“flank”), Bashkir бөйөр (böyör, “kidney”), Chagatai [script needed] (bögr, “the loins”), Chuvash пӳре (püre, “kidney”), Kazakh бүйір (büiır, “flank, side”), Turkmen böwür (“flank”), Tatar бөер (böer, “kidney”), Yakut бүөр (büör, “kidney”).
