Proto-Turkic

Etymology

The ultimate origin is unknown but thought to be external, due to the initial consonant /l/ being untypical for native Turkic lexicon. The source is believed to be other than Mongolic, since the areas where the term occurs is untypical for Mongolic borrowings in Turkic^[1]. Mongolian начин (način) is considered to be a borrowing from Turkic itself, whereas Tuvan начин (naçin) is a back-loan from Mongolian^[2]. Clauson believes the source to be ultimately Tokharian.^[3] Nishanyan proposes a derivation from Proto-Turkic *ala + *-čin by apheresis.^[4]
