These words seem to break Kazakh consonant shifts, and are most likely borrowings from other Turkic dialects or later borrowings from Persian or the like.

  • qoş (borrowing from Uzbek?)
  • şaşlıq (borrowing from Uzbek?)
  • ğaşıq (borrowing from Persian?)
  • kişmiş (borrowing from Russian?)

Kyrgyz

  • biroq

Uyghur

Uzbek

If these words aren't borrowings from Kazakh, then something strange is going on.
