Topic: Turkic etymology Posted: 12-Oct-2006 at 16:43 |
Proto - Altaic: *ete
Meaning: elder relative
Turkic: ata/ete
Mongolian: echige
Tungus-Manchu: (x)eti
Korean: ata
Japanese: tete,ti
Comments: A "nursery" word, represented in all Altaic subgroups. Ramstedt compares the Mongolian form with Turkic. *eči / *eče 'elder brother', but it is obviously closer related to *ata (Mongolian *eči-ge = Turkic *ete-ke / *ata-ka). The form *ete-k`e, reflected in Turkic, Mongolian and Tungus, is probably an archaic diminutive.

Proto - Altaic: p a t a (q)
Meaning: bottom, lower side
Old Turkic: atqa
Modern Turkic: atqar, atqaq, atym, atam
Mongolian: (h)atqu
Tungus-Manchu: pata, pataqa
Korean: patok
Japanese: pata
Comments: In Korean, perhaps also Modern Korean pathuŋ 'step (of stairs)', ptúr 'staircase', 'yard'. The original meaning was no doubt 'bottom', 'bottom side', with a subsequent development > 'bottom of hand or foot' > 'sole, palm' in the Western Altaic region. In Turkic and Mongolian such a semantic change was probably favoured by a contamination with yet another Proto Altaic root, 'p et' 'to pinch' , so that the final meaning resulted in 'take a handful, clutch'.

Proto - Altaic: *ech o
Meaning: be weak, exhausted
Old Turkic: ach
Modern Turkic: ach, as (hunger)
Korean: ech
Japanese: eter
Comments: The parallel seems reliable despite tone discrepancy between Turkic and Tungusic, on the one hand, and Korean - Japanese, on the other.

Proto - Altaic: p alŋa (-e)
Meaning: palm (of hand)
Turkic: aya (-n)
Mongolian: haligha(n)
Tungus-Manchu: palŋa
Korean: par
Comments: N ote that Manchu Tungus forms meaning 'foot, sole' should be certainly kept apart: palgha). The Mongolian - Tungusic match here seems impeccable, and borrowing is excluded. The Turkic form presents problems with a unique cluster development *-lŋ- > *-ln- > -n-, but still is probably the reflex of the same root. The Korean form may belong here if we suppose a secondary semantic development 'palm' > 'handful' > 'armful'.

How's it going Bulldog?
Proto - Altaic: eŋ
Meaning: to think, understand
Turkic: aŋ; aŋla; aŋna; aŋar (1 to understand 2 intelligence 3 to hear 4 to discern )
Mongolian: aŋuda-la
Tungus-Manchu: eŋe
Japanese: eme-p-
Comments: The Japanese word poses some problems: its accent does not correspond to Turkic length, and if we reconstruct *eŋo, Proto Turkic should have a closed *ạ. It is worth while therefore to consider other explanations of Japanese *eme-p-: e. g. compare it with Mongolian *oyun 'thought' and reconstruct a separate protoform like *uno.
Mongolian aŋ-ira- 'to know, understand' < Turkic Siberian languages (aŋ-sira- with the affix of incomplete verb quality); Mongolian aŋqar- < Turk. *āŋ-gar-.

Proto - Altaic: era
Meaning: to go astray, mistake
Old Turkic: ar
Modern Turkic: az, as, or
Tungus-Manchu: er(e)
Korean: eryi-b
Japanese: ara
Comments: Mongolian:Tungus:Korean. Mongolian and Turkic have also suffixed forms that may belong to the same root (with front / back vowel variation): Mongolian. archaa- 'to quarrel, argue'; ers- 'to rival, compete'; Turkic *ersi- 'mean, nasty'; perhaps also Mongolian *arila- 'to disappear, vanish'.

Proto - Altaic: p iori
Meaning: back, West
Turkic: ar-t (1 back 2 mountain pass)
Mongolian: horo-ne
Tungus-Manchu: perki-n/purki-n
Japanese: pintari
Comments: The Japanese match is somewhat dubious semantically (possible if one assumes 'left' < 'West') and has an irregular low tone.

Proto - Altaic: p et(e)
Meaning: name, to call
Turkic: at
Tungus-Manchu: pete
Korean: peri/peru
Japanese: peta-ya
Comments: The parallel seems interesting (with a semantic development 'call' < > 'name' > 'omen', 'fate'), but back *a in Turkic is not quite clear (one should rather expect *et); perhaps we should reconstruct dialectal variants *p ete / *p eta.

Proto - Altaic: anda
Meaning: to do wrong; to accuse, tease
Old Turkic: at-alch
Modern Turkic: adash, adas
Mongolian: anda
Tungus-Manchu: (x)an(d)u
Japanese: ana
Comments: A different etymology of the Japanese form seems less probable because of an obvious parallelism between the Japanese and Manchu Tungus forms.

Proto - Altaic: mach a
Meaning: to fast, hunger
Old Turkic: bachaq (Old Uighur documents)
Mongolian: machaq
Tungus-Manchu: machu
Japanese: matur
Comments: Mongolian machag cannot be of Turkic; it is also difficult to suppose Manchu machixi (especially the verb machu-) to be from Mongolian machag. The root thus seems to be reconstructable for Proto Altaic, with the meaning approx. "to fast, hunger with religious purposes".

Meaning: to spread; flag, standard
Old Turkic: bad-raq/bad-ruq
Modern Turkic: batraq, bayraq

Comments: Clauson's hypothesis about borrowing from Sanskrit is unfounded because Sanskrit lacks anything similar.
