Proto-Mongolic

Etymology

According to Doerfer, borrowed from Proto-Turkic *ēr. The final vowel leads Doerfer to reconstruct the Common Turkic etymon with an auslaut.[1] Nugteren, while acknowledging a possible relation between the two roots, adds that the connection is problematic if Khalaj h- is genuine.[2] The word is also compared to Proto-Turkic *ēren (“men”), plural of *ēr by Nişanyan.[3]

Noun

*ere

  1. male, man
