Etymology
From Ottoman Turkish اویله (öyle), ایله (eyle), from Proto-Oghuz [Term?] (ayla) metathesis from Proto-Turkic *anlayu. Compare Old Turkic 𐰣𐰞𐰖𐰆 (anlayu), from 𐰣 (an-, “she, he, it, that”) + 𐰞𐰖𐰆 (-layu) (similative suffix). Compare Turkish o (“she, he, it, that”), from a merger of earlier an and ol. Compare böyle (“like this”), şöyle (“like that”). Cognate with Azerbaijani elə, Turkmen eýle, etc.
