"etymology_text": "Uncertain. Multiple etymologies have been proposed;\n# Doerfer (1965), based on Old Uyghur twyrk (“?”) found in fragmentary Manichaean scriptures as \"...türk burxanlarta kén éntiŋiz...\" (\"...you have descended [to Earth] after [???] prophets (Boddhisatvas)...\"), presumes that Old Uyghur word and thus *türk must have meant \"strong\", and or \"capable.\" However, Clauson (1972) rejects this observation, stating that most of the text is illegible and twyrk in the Manichaean may simply be twyrt (“four”) instead. This is seconded by Nişanyan in his Modern Turkish etymological dictionary.\n# According to Clauson (1972) *türk means \"the culmination point of maturity\", \"ripe (as are fruit)\" and \"the prime of one's life\".\n# Räsänen (1969) in his entry surmises the etymologies above, giving that the word meant \"power, might\" in Old Uyghur, \"midpoint of maturing\" in Middle Turkic, \"brave\" in Chagatai and \"brute, harsh; (and by extension) illiterate\" in Ottoman Turkish. He also gives \"Chinese Tu-küz\" (cf. Middle Chinese 突厥 (tʰuət̚ kɨut̚)) for the comparison. Whether or not the words mentioned are related to this etymon is unclear.\n# Róna-Tas (1991) compares this form with Khotanese *tturakä (“lid, helmet”) in the light of the mention of \"golden mountains shaped like helmets\" by the Chinese Annals where Turks would live. Chinese records also state that Turks got their name from these mountains, which they call türküt. Notwithstanding this etymology, Róna-Tas and Berta (2011) suppose the proto-form as *türkü and comment that this word is not found natively in Yakut, Khakas and Chuvash languages.\nThe earliest attestation of Turk is found in the Hüis Tolgoi Inscription, stone 1 as 𑀓𑁆𑀭𑀽𑀢𑀼 (türǖg) in Brahmi script, dating back to 584 AD.\nSee more at Turkic.",

"etymology_text": "Uncertain. Multiple etymologies have been proposed;\n# Doerfer (1965), based on Old Uyghur twyrk (“?”) found in fragmentary Manichaean scriptures as \"...türk burxanlarta kén éntiŋiz...\" (\"...you have descended [to Earth] after [???] prophets (Boddhisatvas)...\"), presumes that Old Uyghur word and thus *türk must have meant \"strong\", and or \"capable.\" However, Clauson (1972) rejects this observation, stating that most of the text is illegible and twyrk in the Manichaean may simply be twyrt (“four”) instead. This is seconded by Nişanyan in his Modern Turkish etymological dictionary.\n# According to Clauson (1972) *türk means \"the culmination point of maturity\", \"ripe (as are fruit)\" and \"the prime of one's life\".\n# Räsänen (1969) in his entry surmises the etymologies above, giving that the word meant \"power, might\" in Old Uyghur, \"midpoint of maturing\" in Middle Turkic, \"brave\" in Chagatai and \"brute, harsh; (and by extension) illiterate\" in Ottoman Turkish. He also gives \"Chinese Tu-küz\" (cf. Middle Chinese 突厥 (tʰuət̚ kɨut̚)) for the comparison. Whether or not the words mentioned are related to this etymon is unclear.\n# Róna-Tas (1991) compares this form with Khotanese *tturakä (“lid, helmet”) in the light of the mention of \"golden mountains shaped like helmets\" by the Chinese Annals where Turks would live. Chinese records also state that Turks got their name from these mountains, which they call türküt. Notwithstanding this etymology, Róna-Tas and Berta (2011) suppose the proto-form as *türkü and comment that this word is not found natively in Yakut, Khakas and Chuvash languages.\nThe earliest attestation of Turk is found in the Hüis Tolgoi Inscription, stone 1 as 𑀓𑁆𑀭𑀽𑀢𑀼 (türǖg) in Brahmi script, dating back to 584 AD.\nSee more at Turkic.",
