Turkish

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish قیا‎ (kaya), قایا‎ (kaya, “rock”), from Proto-Turkic *K(i)aja (“rock, mountain”).[1] Akin to Proto-Mongolic *kada (“rock”) (Mongolian хад (had, “large rock, cliff”)) and Proto-Tungusic *kada(r) (“rock”) (Evenki кадага (kadaɣa, “rock, cliff”)), however Old Turkic -j- instead of the expected -d- is baffling, EDAL suggests Old Turkic [script needed] (kaya, “rock”) is perhaps a borrowing from some archaic "j-dialect"[2] such as Oghuz, Karluk and Kipchak languages where regular d→δ→j evolution took place. Helimski (1995)[3] suggests a borrowing from Proto-Samoyedic *koəjə (“mountain”).

cognates

Cognate with Old Turkic [script needed] (kaya, “rock”), Azerbaijani qaya (“rock”), Bashkir ҡая (qaya, “rock, cliff”), Khakas хая (xaya, “rock”), Turkmen gaýa (“rock, cliff”), Tuvan хая (haya, “rock”), Uzbek qoya (“rock, cliff”), Yakut хайа (xaya, “mountain”).
