Etymology

[edit]

Perhaps via Volga Turki from Ottoman Turkish بیوك (büyük, big, large), from Proto-Turkic *bedük (big) (compare Old Uyghur [script needed] (bedük, big, large), Old Uyghur [script needed] (beδük, high).[1]), from Proto-Turkic *bedü- (to grow, become large).[2]

The Native Kypchak development from that Old Turkic root is biyik (see Bashkir бейек (beyek, tall, high) for more cognates).
