Etymology

[edit]

The ultimate origin is unknown. Even though suggested to be a derivation from *yum- (to close (of eyes)); Bashkir, Old Uyghur, Karakhanid and so on don't point it. As regards *ń-, Doerfer deemed only the comparison of Mongolic nudurga ‘fist’ and Turkic yudruk acceptable and claimed that the Mongolic form might have been dissimilated from *dudurga. In a later study in which he consonants had not undergone any changes during the formation of Proto-Common-Turkic and Proto-Bulgar-Turkic, it is possible and quite likely that Proto-Turkic had the same initials *p-, *ń- and *d₂- aswell.

Compared to Proto-Mongolic *nidurga (fist) and Proto-Tungusic *nurga (fist). And also Korean 주먹 (jumeok, fist) (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
