Etymology
Commonly treated as a form of хөөрөг (xöörög) and ᠬᠥᠭᠡᠷᠭᠡ (kögerge) from Proto-Mongolic *köxerge, from Proto-Turkic *köprüg. However initial voicing, үү instead of өө and missing -ge are all irregular and indicate perhaps a different origin.
Compare Buryat гүүр (güür), Daur xuurugw, Turkish köprü.
