Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish اولومق (ulumak, to howl), from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Turkic *ūlɨ- (to cry, howl). Altaicists compare to Korean 울다 (ulda, to cry, weep, neigh), Mongolian улих (ulix, to yawn, howl, cry out) and reconstruct Proto-Altaic *ū́lo ("to cry, howl").[1]

Cognate with Old Uyghur [script needed] (ulı-, to cry noisily, howl), Azerbaijani ulamaq (to howl, wail), Bashkir олоу (olow, to howl), Chuvash ӑлахма (ălahma, to neigh), Kazakh ұлу (ūlu, to howl, whine), Kyrgyz улуу (uluu, to howl), Tuvan улуур (uluur, to howl), Uzbek ulimoq (to howl), Yakut улуй (uluy, to howl).

ulumak (third-person singular simple present ulur)

  1. (intransitive) to howl
    İt ulur, birbirini bulur.
    Dog[s] howl and find each other. (A proverb similar to birds of a feather flock together.)
