Proto-Altaic: *sógà ( ~ -u-)
Meaning: drunken, alcoholic drink
Russian meaning: пьяный; алкогольный напиток
Comments: АПиПЯЯ 275. The Jpn.-Kor. comparison see in Martin 235 (with a somewhat fantastic reconstruction). Actually Korean drops -g- quite regularly, while -r is an obvious suffix; the vowel -u-, however, is a problem (*-a- would be expected), and should be probably explained as a result of contraction (thus *sù'ɨ̀r < *sagV-bVr or the like). Existing TM forms (see ТМС 2,106) are clearly borrowed from Mongolian, see Doerfer MT 39, Rozycki 186. Cf. also Karakh. suɣdɨč 'winter parties, arranged by turns'. altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-mong,altet-kor,altet-jap,altet-reference,
