Translations

Etymology

In summary

From Ottoman Turkish صوغیمق (soğumak), صوغومق (sovumak, “to cool, become cold; to lose love, desire and enthusiasm”), from Proto-Turkic *sogï- (“to cool, get cold”). Altaicists compare to Korean 식다 (sikda, “to cool off”), Evenki [script needed] (čig-, “to cool”), Manchu ᡧᠠᡥᡠᡵᡠᠨ (šahurun, “to freeze, to get cold, cold”), but the Altaic theory is now widely discredited. Cognate with Old Turkic [script needed] (soɣı-, “to cool”), Azerbaijani soyumaq (“to cool”), Bashkir һыуыу (hıwıw, “to cool”), Southern Altai соор (soor, “to cool”), Turkmen sowamak (“to cool”), Uzbek sovimoq (“to cool”).
