of Turkic origin, maybe?
[edit]Could it be a borrowing from Turkic languages, whence kinda similar to Turkish baykuş. Perhaps an Oghur borrowing? Ardahan Karabağ (talk) 14:02, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Ardahan Karabağ The sources I have available do not mention a Turkic origin. The latest etymology dictionary says it is of uncertain origin, perhaps a derived term from the Hungarian verb búg.
