بجاق
Karakhanid
Etymology
Derived from *بَجاماقْ (*bačā-, "to fast") which is unattested in Karakhanid but is found within Old Uyghur as 𐽼𐽰𐽽𐽰𐽲 (pʾcʾq /bačaḳ, bačaġ/, “fast”).[1] Usually considered a native word,[2] however Caferoğlu suggests a derivation from Sogdian 𐼾𐼰𐽁 (pʾš, “fast”)[3] instead.[4]
Noun
بَجاقْ (bačāq)
- (religion, Christianity) fast, fasting; fasting of Christians (or the believers of Manichaeism)
