Proto-Indo-European
Etymology
The form has been connected to words for 'horse' that extend eastward in non-IE languages, but the dating and direction of borrowing remains uncertain. T. Gamkrelidze and V. Ivanov associate the word to horse riding in the Bronze Age.[1][2] Most scholars regard it as a Wanderwort of unknown origin. Altaic, Thracian and Scythian reconstructions are among the most discussed theories.[3]
Reconstruction
The reconstruction at the PIE level is disputed on several grounds:
- limited geographical distribution in Western IE - only present in Celtic and Germanic branch
- the presence of rare/disputed PIE phoneme */a/
Noun
*márkos
- horse (Equus caballus)
- (possibly) wild horse (Equus przewalskii or gmelini)
Usage notes
Possibly denoting only a "wild horse" or "war horse" as opposed to the *h₁éḱwos (“domestic horse”).
