توی

Connected to Proto-Turkic *toy (“feast, wedding, gathering”) by Clauson et al. However, the reflexives in other languages suggest a short vowel variant, including in Oghuz languages such as Turkmen toý, طوی.

In Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk (1072), Maḫmud al-Ḳašġarî writes down that [the] Oghuz people do not know this [word.] This may be the case due to Oghuz branch not preserving the primary sense of military camp, which is what the Karakhanid word translates to in Arabic.
