Tariama kaip (IPA)

[o̞ʷɫ̟ˈmɑk]

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish اولمق (olmak, “to exist, be, become, happen, fit, ripen, mature”), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (ol-), [script needed] (bol-, “to become”), from Proto-Turkic *bōl- (“to become”). Now-obsolete bolmak was dominant until the end of the 16th century, and coexisted with olmak, which was attested quite early too. The relation between the two is unclear; according to Dybo, forms commencing with o- may very well represent a different root (see oturmak). On the other hand, the geographical distribution of this variant matches quite closely the change *b- > v- (see Turkish var (“there is”), or vermek (“to give”)) so it may indeed mirror the following change: *bol- > *vol- > ol-. But this change is not seen in b-l words in Turkish (e.g; bol, bal, bel, balık, bölmek, bilmek, bulmak, bilemek), which raises the possibility that the origin of the word is from *ol-.
