Altaic etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Altaic: *gi̯aŋu
Meaning: wild onion
Russian meaning: дикий лук
Comments: Cf. also some similar roots: *gokV, *ki̯omga, *k`éma (with possible mergers). Medial -m- in Turk. may be either due to these mergers, or a result of labial assimilation (*gEmürgen < *gEŋürgen). The Jpn. form must go back to a suffixed *gi̯aŋ(u)-gV. altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-tung,altet-jap,altet-reference,
