silkmek

Turkish

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish سلكمه‎ (silkmek, “to shake, beat, knock”), from Proto-Turkic *silk- (“to shake”).[1] Related to Proto-Mongolic *silgeɣe- (“to shake, tremble”), (cf. Mongolian шилгээх (šilgeex, “to stir, shake oneself”)) and Proto-Tungusic *silgü- (“to shake, tremble”) (cf. Evenki силгин (silgin, “to shake, tremble”)). Either inherited to all families from a common source (according to the now largely discredited Altaic theory) or contact induced.[2]
