Bulgar[edit]
Etymology[edit]
There are two theories for the etymology of this word; Vasil Zlatarski[1] and Mosko Moskov[2] agree that it comes from Proto-Turkic *tokuŕ (“nine”) + -ем, but Petar Dobrev[3] says it comes from Proto-Iranic Proto-Iranian *čaθwā́rah (“four”). So it means either the fourth or the ninth. Petar Dobrev's theory goes back to the Iranian-Bulgar theory. This is how Iranian words in the Danube Bulgar language are explained by this theory.
