Etymology 1

[edit]
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (nɔk "turbid / muddy"), and Luce 1981 doesn't appear to cover this word's finals (-AUK). Bears very vague resemblance to Old Chinese 濁 (OC *rdoːɡ, “muddy. turbid”), though probably not cognate.”
