denk

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish دنك (denk), from Old Anatolian Turkish دك (däŋ), from Proto-Turkic *teŋ (“equal”), ultimately from Chinese 等 (MC tojX|tongX, “equal; sort, type, etc.”), or specifically 戥 (“small steelyard for weighing money and similar items”). Cognate with Old Turkic [script needed] (teŋ, “equal, equivalent, appropriate”), Kazakh тең (teñ, “equal”), Uzbek teng (“equal”), Bashkir тиң (tiñ, “equal”), Yakut тэҥ (teñ, “equal”), Uyghur تەڭ (teng, “equal”).
