Reconstruction:Proto-Turkic/kunduŕ

This Proto-Turkic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Turkic
*kunduŕ

Etymology

Unknown. Can be a derivation of *kun- (an ancient verb or noun), if *-duŕ suffix also used in;

Often compared also with Proto-Ugric *kuntɜ (“beaver”), whence Hungarian hód, Mansi хунтыль (huntylʹ). Both loaning directions (Turkic → Ugric, Ugric → Turkic) have been proposed.[1][2]

As per above, the suggested etymology may be true and itself could be from < Ugric since there were no beavers in Proto-Turkic urheimat. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
