[edit]Etymology
[edit]- According to Tekin, from *koduŕ (“woman”) + *-čuk (“diminutive suffix”). However, the word seems to have more specifically referred to widows, as opposed to women in general, which makes it semantically dubious.
- Authors of EDAL under the discredited Altaic theory, citing Räsänen's construction of this form with a velar rather than an alveolar-dental sound in the second syllable, reconstruct this word as *kagurčak, assuming the Chagatai and Uzbek forms with *-g- to be the original sound and connect the word with Proto-Tungusic *xakukan (“doll”) and Japanese 傀儡 (kugutsu, “doll”). However a sound change *-g- → -d- is otherwise not found in Karakhanid, which is explained by the same authors as a phonetic aberration.
Relation with *kāparčak (“blister, pustule”), which came to also be used for "doll" in Karakhanid is uncertain, perhaps a conflation of the two terms or coincidence.
