Reconstruction:Proto-Turkic/kumursga
(Redirected from Reconstruction:Proto-Turkic/kumɨr-)
Proto-Turkic[edit]
Reconstruction[edit]
Daughter languages show various secondary changes due to a difficult consonant cluster.
Some sources reconstruct *kïmïrsga or *kumïrsga to explain the unrounded vowel found in all Siberian varieties and North Kipchak, however the oldest sources point to rounded vowels.
Etymology[edit]
Perhaps analyzable as *kumur- + *-ga, the latter being a common ending in animal names.
