Etymology[edit]

From Old Turkic ïrq[1] ("prediction", "fate", "guessing"), from Proto-Turkic *ir-

V. Thomsen, B. Y. Vladimirtsov, W. Bang, and A. von Gaben identified the commonality of verb *ır- > ырым (yrym) and ырық (yryq) with yar- meaning "to split", ırıl- meaning "to form cracks", and in ırq and ırım (> yrym) meaning ancient divination accessories found on burnt ram shoulder blades. [2]
