sağmak

Turkish

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish صاغمق (sağmak, to milk, get, extract), from Old Turkic [script needed] (saɣ-, to milk), from Proto-Turkic *sag- (to milk). Altaicists compare to Mongolian саах (saah, to milk), Korean 새다 (saeda, to leak) and reconstruct Proto-Altaic *săjgo ("to filter, ooze").[1]

Cognate with Azerbaijani sağmaq (to milk), Kazakh сауу (saww, to milk), Turkmen sagmak (to milk), Tuvan саар (saar, to milk), Uzbek sogʻmoq (to milk), Yakut ыа (ıa, to milk).
