or at least so I think... Any of those premises could be wrong (except for the "Kyrgyz words" part, I guess)

The [presumably] Persian words

  • коом - community
  • бата - blessing
  • тоскоол - obstacle
  • -чAн suffix - -clad (wearing something) (e.g., калпакчан, көйнөкчөн, көзайнекчен)
  • депкер - strainer or holey spatula thing for paloo
  • тапчан - seating platform for dastorxon
  • чарчы - square

Weird versions in Kyrgyz

  • чейрек - fourth ← čāryak?
  • жоокер - soldier ← jahongir - ~warrior
  • дене - body ← tän?
  • айнек (Kk. әйнек) - glass (cf., Kk. айна - mirror)
  • кулпу - lock (Arabic qifl, Tajik qufl/qulf)
  • чабелекей (?) - sparrow
  • анделек - melon
  • мөөр - stamp

Other words with mysterious etymologies

See Turkic words with mysterious etymologies.

Words with cognates but unclear etymologies

  • дароо - immediately
    • Khalkha даруй, дороо
    • Tajik даррав
