Etymology

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish: قویون

Cognate with Azerbaijani: qoyun

Cognate with Old Turkish: 𐰸𐰆𐰪

Cognate with Turkmen: goýun

Cognate with Kazakh: қой

Cognate with Uzbek: qo'y

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish: قوین

In summary

From Ottoman Turkish قویون (koyun), from Proto-Turkic *kōń. Cognate with Azerbaijani qoyun, Old Turkic 𐰸𐰆𐰪 (koñ), Turkmen goýun, Kazakh қой (qoi), Uzbek qo'y. Related to written Mongolian ᠬᠣᠨᠢᠨ (qonin, “sheep”), Mongolian хонь (xonʹ, “sheep”), Buryat хонин (xonin, “sheep”) and Kalmyk хөн (xön, “sheep”), but the nature of relationship is unclear; the Mongolic terms may be borrowed from Turkic. Pedersen derived all of these forms from Old Armenian խոյ (xoy), but in Doerfer's opinion this is phonetically impossible. Ačaṙyan too regards the resemblance to Old Armenian խոյ (xoy) as accidental.

Sentences
