Proto-Turkic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
The ultimate origin is unknown but thought to be external, due to the initial consonant /l/ being untypical for native Turkic lexicon. The source is believed to be other than Mongolic, since the areas where the term occurs is untypical for Mongolic borrowings in Turkic[1]. Mongolian начин (način) is considered to be a borrowing from Turkic itself, whereas Tuvan начин (naçin) is a back-loan from Mongolian[2]. Clauson believes the source to be ultimately Tokharian [3]. Also, compare with Proto-Nakh *laači (“falcon”); Lak лачин (lačin, “falcon”); Avar лаче́н (lačén, “falcon”). Nishanyan proposes a derivation from Proto-Turkic *ala + *-čin by apheresis.[4]
