Azerbaijani
Etymology
From Proto-Turkic *er- (“to be”).[1] Negative forms are from deyil, from Proto-Turkic *degül. Alongside stem suppletion, (suffixed) simple copulas -dir are from Proto-Turkic *tur- (cf. durmaq (“to stand”)); -əm, -sən, and -siniz are from personal pronouns (cf. mən, sən and siz); while -ik are from Proto-Turkic *-ik (suppletive morpheme to *biŕ). Cognate with Old Turkic 𐰼 (r² /er-/), Turkish *imek, and Uzbek *emoq.
Conjugation
Missing forms are supplied by the present simple copulas (between parentheses in the table below), and by olmaq. Thus, the actual infinitive form of *imek is olmaq, as the verb serves as infinitive of *imek and itself.
This verb lacked infinitive and other forms; negative form deyil are should not confused with the expected infinitive deyilmək, of which rather derived from demək + -il.

Usage notes
- When compounded, for example the verb sahib *imək has infinitive form of sahib olmaq (this can confused with the same verb). This verb can be conjugated by using the verb olmaq (sahib olduq); the defective verb *imek (sahib idik); or by suffixing (sahibdik) whilst retaining imişdi → -miş idi (sahibmiş idik) and the olmaq and deyil suppletions (sahib deyildik, sahib olmağacaq).
