Etymology
By surface analysis, 𐽶𐽶𐽶𐾁𐽼𐽶𐽹𐽰𐽷 (yyylpymʾk /yélpimek/, “to fan, to blow wind”) + -𐽷𐽳 (-kw /-kü/, denominal suffix), which can be traced back to Old Uyghur 𐽶𐽶𐽶𐾁 (yyyl /yél/, “wind”). Cognate with Karakhanid یَلْبَتْماكْ (/yélpetmek/, “to fan”)[2] and partially cognate with Ottoman Turkish یلپازه (yelpaze).
Sense two is derived from the "spirit" sense of 𐽶𐽶𐽶𐾁.
