Alternative reconstructions

  • *kōš (following Karakhanid and Mamluk-Kipchak)

Reconstruction notes

Karakhanid and Mamluk-Kipchak point to a long vowel, while Yakut and Turkmen point to a short one. The word is listed with a short vowel following ESTJa.

Etymology

Likely related to *koĺ- (“to pair; to unite, bind (two things)”).[1] According to Doerfer, the word initially meant "two united things", and is derived from *ko- (“to unite”), whence he derives *kop (“united, all”).[2] The word is attempted to be genetically linked to Proto-Mongolic *koyar (“two”), however, such comparisons are widely rejected and unfounded.

Noun

*koš

  1. (Common Turkic) pair, double
