Proto-Turkic

Etymology

Unclear whether derived from *yaru- (“to shine”) or *yarï- (“to shine”) +‎ *-n. But Old Turkic having yarïn rather than expected *yarun. By Altaicists compared to Proto-Mongolic *naran (“sun”) (cf. Mongolian нар (nar, “sun”)), Proto-Tungusic *ŋēri (“light”) (cf. Evenki ӈэ̄ри (ŋə̄ri, “light”)) and Korean 날 (nal, “day”) (< Middle Korean nár). However the most likely hypothesis is that the word is a wanderwort in Asia, compare Proto-Semitic *nūr- (“fire”) and Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-nəj (“day; sun”)

Adverb

*yạrïn

morning
tomorrow
