Etymology

From metathesis of an earlier form, compare Turkish ileri. Cognate with Old Turkic 𐰃𐰠𐰏𐰼𐰇‎ (il²gr²ü /ilgerü/)[1], Kipchak ilgari[2], Bashkir элгәре (elgäre, “earlier; first”). Ultimately a derivation from Proto-Turkic *il(i)k (“front, before; East;”)[3], whence also Azerbaijani ilk (“first”).
