түүх

• IPA^(key): /tʰuːx/

From Proto-Mongolic *texü-, compare Dongxiang qiao.

түүх • (tüüx)

1. to gather

   Synonyms: хураах (xuraax), цуглуулах (cugluulax)

2. to pick

• түүвэр (tüüver, “collection”)

Cognate with Buryat түүхэ (tüüxe) and Kalmyk түүк (tüük) with no attestations in Middle Mongol.

Connected by proponents of the widely discredited Altaic theory with Proto-Turkic *teb, see Bashkir тәүлек (təwlek, “day and night”). (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?)

Ramstedt instead suggests a Chinese origin, but doesn't give any particular form.
