Ottoman Turkish

[edit]

Etymology 1

[edit]

Perhaps a derivation from *ȫr-*ör- or some metathesized derivation of *ög-*ögre-. Compare Kazakh өрнек (örnek), Uzbek o'rnak, Uyghur ئۆرنەك (örnek), Tatar үрнәк (ürnäk) (all from Chagatai?).

According to Budagov, borrowed from Middle Armenian օրինակ (ōrinak), from Old Armenian օրինակ (ōrinak, example),[1][2] which is called into question by Sevortyan[3] and rejected by Lewis.[4]

Origin from گورمك (görmek, to see) has also been suggested,[5] but such a formation is unusual in Turkic, and the drop of g- would remain unexplained.[2][6]
