"teŋri" meaning in Proto-Turkic

See teŋri in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: The Old Chinese transcription 撐黎/撐犁 (ṭhāŋ-rə̄j) of the Xiongnu word 'sky' has been identified to have been borrowed Proto-Turkic *teŋri. Origin of this term is unclear. Vovin (2003) has suggested a Yeniseian origin, from would-be Proto-Yeniseian *tɨŋgɨr- (“high”) (or *thɨŋ(g)ǝl).
