Mongolian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]- Commonly treated as a form of хөөрөг (xöörög) and ᠬᠥᠭᠡᠷᠭᠡ (kögerge) from Proto-Mongolic *köxerge, compare Buryat хүүргэ (xüürge).
- Maybe from Proto-Turkic *köprüg, compare Turkish köprü.
- However initial voicing, үү instead of өө and missing -ge are all irregular and indicate perhaps a different origin.
- Further compare Kalmyk гүүр (güür), Daur xuurugw.
