Proto-Turkic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]According to Bonmann and Fries et al. (2025), borrowed from Proto-Yeniseian *xuɬ (“water”)[1] via Old Arin *kul, around the time of the Xiōngnú Confederacy.
According to Doerfer (1967), perhaps borrowed from Middle Persian 𐫐𐫇𐫓 (kwl /kōl/, “pit, sink”), whence Persian کول (kôl, “pit, lake”).[2] This is supported by Monshizadeh.[3] Nişanyan deems the Middle Persian word a cognate.[4]
