Proto-Turkic[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
Postposition[edit]
*ök
- (Common Turkic) emphatic particle.
Usage notes[edit]
- Much like *-mi, it adheres to the vowel harmony of the word that comes before it.
- In certain instances, if the word ends with a vowel, it may drop *O- turning it into a suffix *-k
- While the particle may not directly exist in the daughter languages except Old Turkic, it lives in a suffix form *-ek (“first person plural verbal suffix”) and in fossilized forms such as Turkish ancak (“but, except, however”).[1]
Derived terms[edit]
- (Common Turkic) *-ek (“first person plural verbal suffix”)
Descendants[edit]

- Old Turkic: [script needed] (ok)
- Old Uyghur: [script needed] (ok)
