Etymology
From Ottoman Turkish هانكی (hangi), خانغی (hangı, “which”), from earlier قنغی (kangı), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (qanqï, “which”), from Proto-Turkic *kan-, *kań-, a derivation from the interrogative stem *ka-. Ultimately cognate to Turkish hani (“where”), Old Uyghur [script needed] (kanu, “what, which”), Karakhanid [script needed] (kayū, “what, which”), Bashkir ҡайһы (qayhı, “which”), Kyrgyz кай (kay, “what, which”), but its relation to the original word is obscure.[1]
