ватах
Bulgarian
Etymology
From Old Church Slavonic ватахъ (vataxŭ, “chief, commander”). Probably of Oghur origin[1], related to dialectal Bulgarian ватог (vatog, “hearth”).
Alternatively, according to Vl. Georgiev (BER): a Thracian borrowing[2], ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *wedʰ- (“to lead”).
