Etymology[edit]

Argued to be borrowed from Proto-Tocharian *wəkʷsó (draft-ox),[1] yet this is disputed.[2] Alternatively a Wanderwort.[3]

Without taking a side in the debate, it should be noted that Proto-Uralic *uškɜ (ox, bull) might be accepted as being derived from PIE, per the sources on the PIE root's page. This is relevant because geographically, Proto-Uralic would have been spoken somewhere between PIE and Proto-Turkic.

Noun[edit]

*öküŕ

  1. ox, bull
