Proto-Turkic

Etymology

Most scholars have derived from *köń- (to burn) +‎ *-mür, however, there being no expected reflexes from *kȫmür is pointed out by Eren[1]. Khabtagaeva derives from *kö- +‎ *-mür instead, from which she derives *köń- (to burn) and *kȫz (burning embers) [2] There have previously been attempts at deriving it from *köm- (to bury) +‎ *-mür, which is semantically dubious.
