Reconstruction:Proto-Turkic/kūtuŕ
Proto-Turkic
Etymology
Usually considered simplex, however there have been multiple attempts at a derivation:
- Erdal states that a derivation *kūtur- (“to go mad”) + *-ŕ is plausible,[1] but Tekin states that the reverse is more likely from a phonological standpoint[2] (cf. Turkmen guduramak[3]).
- Nişanyan connects it with *kūt (“blessing, luck”), however this is morphologically imporbable.
- Räsänen suggests a derivation from *kūt- (“to lose strength”) (cf. Old Uyghur qwt- (“to lose strength”)[4]).
