"etymology_text": "A root with puzzling reflexes, according to Clauson. Räsänen compares this reconstruction with Old Uyghur 𐽹𐽰𐽺𐽷𐽶 (meŋi, “happiness, entertainment”) and proposes a relation with Hungarian fej, fő, Finnish pää (both inherited from Proto-Uralic *päŋe) and Mongolian хэки (xeki). Eren (1999), however, calls this comparison into doubt.\nAltaicists, on the other hand, reconstruct this proto-form as *beyŋi, which is then compared to Mongolian манлай (manlaj, “forehead”) and Japanese 耳 (mimi, “ear”). However, such comparisons across 'Altaic languages' do not enjoy acceptance by the mainstream historical linguistics, for the reason that 'cognates' are actually look-alikes and semantic overfittings for the purpose of forging etymologies.",

"etymology_text": "A root with puzzling reflexes, according to Clauson. Räsänen compares this reconstruction with Old Uyghur 𐽹𐽰𐽺𐽷𐽶 (meŋi, “happiness, entertainment”) and proposes a relation with Hungarian fej, fő, Finnish pää (both inherited from Proto-Uralic *päŋe) and Mongolian хэки (xeki). Eren (1999), however, calls this comparison into doubt.\nAltaicists, on the other hand, reconstruct this proto-form as *beyŋi, which is then compared to Mongolian манлай (manlaj, “forehead”) and Japanese 耳 (mimi, “ear”). However, such comparisons across 'Altaic languages' do not enjoy acceptance by the mainstream historical linguistics, for the reason that 'cognates' are actually look-alikes and semantic overfittings for the purpose of forging etymologies.",
