ayılmak

Turkish

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish آییلمق‎ (ayılmak), [1] passive of Proto-Turkic *ād- (“to sober up”).[2] The simplest form is not attested in Common Turkic, therefore Nişanyan assumes - *ad- “to separate, distinguish, notice” and claims Old Turkic [script needed] (adır-, “to separate”) (see ayırmak) and adıl- must be causative and passive forms of this stem respectively. He gives the example of Arabic فَرَقَ‎ (faraqa, “to separate, distinguish”). Cognate with Old Turkic [Term?], Azerbaijani ayılmaq (“to wake up, sober up”), Turkmen aýylmak (“to recollect oneself”).
