матур

Cognate with Tatar матур (matur, “beatiful”) and Chuvash маттур (mattur, “strong, stout; dextrous; brave; beatiful”). Presumably, ultimately from Proto-Turkic *bagatur (“hero”)[1].

Irregular nasalization and preservation of a roundness-disharmonic high vowel could be indicative of some sort of reloaning scenario.

Doublet of батыр (batır, “hero, brave”).
