Inherited from Osmanlı Türkçesi

عموجه

In summary

From Ottoman Turkish عموجه (ʼamuca), from older آبجه (abıca, abuca), equivalent to Proto-Turkic *apa (“father”) + *-ča. Compare also Proto-Turkic *abučka (“uncle”). Nişanyan explains the change from /b/ to /m/ as an influence of Arabic عَمّ (ʕamm).
