uca

See also: Uca, UCA, and úča

Azerbaijani

Etymology

According to Dybo, a derivation from Proto-Turkic *yüg-[1], hence Azerbaijani yüksək and other related forms. Compare Turkish yüce and dialectal yüvcek, yüğcek, üğücek.

According to Sevortyan, ultimately from Proto-Turkic *ūč (“edge”)[2], hence, related to Azerbaijani uc (“tip, point, cusp”) and unrelated to Azerbaijani yüksək.

Some consider both the Turkish uca (“coccyx”) and Azerbaijani uca (“high”) to be derived from Common Turkic *ūča[3]. The semantic developments that led to the emergence of both these senses could have been along the lines of 1) 'edge' -> 'top of a tree' -> 'high'; 2) 'edge' -> 'edge of the body' -> 'rump; back; loins, buttocks'. Sevortyan, however, conseders these two forms unrelated[4].

Compare Kipchak یوجا‎ (yuca); Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (yüce); Old Turkic [script needed] (uča, “coccyx”).

None of the forms above are thought to be related to uçmaq (“to fly”), despite a certain semantic link.
