Proto-Turkic
Alternative Reconstruction
- *umŋït-
Etymology
Causative form of *umnï-. Compare with Proto-Mongolic *umta- (“to sleep; forget”), *umarta- (“to sleep; forget”), Proto-Tungusic *omŋa- (“to forget”), Proto-Uralic *wune- (“to forget”).
Whence Finnish unohtaa (“to forget”), Mongolian умартах (umartax, “to forget”), Turkish unutmak (“to forget”) and Evenki омӈо (omŋo, “to forget”).
Reconstruction notes
It seems the reflexes of /m/ only appears in Oghur, Kipchak and Siberian.
