Alternative reconstructions
  • *höküŕ

Etymology

Argued to be borrowed from Proto-Tocharian *wəkʷsó (“draft-ox”)[1], yet this is disputed[2]. Alternatively a Wanderwort.[3]

Without taking a side in the debate, it should be noted that Proto-Uralic *uškɜ (“ox, bull”) might be accepted as being derived from PIE, per the sources on the PIE root's page. This is relevant because geographically, Proto-Uralic would have been spoken somewhere between PIE and Proto-Turkic.

Noun

*öküŕ

  1. ox, bull
