Swadesh list no. 185 Doerfer list no. 472


Several forms. PT form is unknown, as Chuvash uses an Arabic borrowing.

Kipchak, Turki, Yenissei, and some Oghuz languages use CT *yaqšï.

Most Oghuz languages and the Sayan languages, as well as Orkhon Turkic use CT *edgü. See also Sakha ütüö, which generally means benevolent or excellent.

A number of Western/Caucasus Kipchak languages have forms like erüv. This could be traced back to *edgü, but that would require a /d/→/r/ sound change that is not typical of Kipchak: edgüedügerüv.
