[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]| Mongolian | Cyrillic |
|---|---|
| ᠯᠤᠤ luu | луу luu |
Inherited from Classical Mongolian ᠯᠤᠤ (luu), from Middle Mongol ᠯᠤᠤ (luu), borrowed from Old Turkic 𐰠𐰇 (l²ẅ /lü/) which in turn is ultimately from Chinese 龍/龙 (lóng). The absence of the final -ŋ suggests an intermediary language without a final -ŋ which Alexander Vovin suggests is Rouran. Compare Buryat луу (luu), Kalmyk лу (lu); Khitan 𘭑 (*lu /lu/); Tuvan улу (ulu), Southern Altai улуу (uluu), Kyrgyz улуу (uluu), Kazakh ұлу (uluw); Tibetan ཀླུ (klu); replaced native Mongolic [Term?].
