"bẹńi" meaning in Proto-Turkic

See bẹńi in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: A root with puzzling reflexes, according to Clauson. Räsänen compares this reconstruction with Old Uyghur [script needed] (mäŋi, “joy, luck”) and proposes a relation with Hungarian fej, fő, Finnish pää (both inherited from Proto-Uralic *päŋe) and Mongolian [script needed] (heki). Eren (1999), however, calls this comparison into doubt. Altaicists, on the other hand, reconstruct this proto-form as *beyŋi, which is then compared to Mongolian манлай (manlaj, “forehead”) and Japanese 耳 (mimi, “ear”).

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”).",
