Proto-Tungusic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Very similar to Proto-Samoyedic *korå (“male, reindeer bull”) and Proto-Chukotko-Kamchatkan *qora (see Chukchi ӄораӈы), however the loss of the initial segment is unexplained.
Alternatively linked by Starostin et al. with Mongolian оронго (orongo, “a kind of antelope”) and Khakas орғы (orğı, “hybrid of moose and maral”) (with their respective cognates).
Noun[edit]
