kaya class5 (pluralmakaya class6)

1. home

FromOttoman Turkishقیا(kaya),قایا(kaya,“rock”), fromProto-Turkic*k(i)aya(“rock, mountain”).^[1] Possibly akin toProto-Mongolic*kada(“rock”) (Mongolianхад(xad,“large rock, cliff”)) andProto-Tungusic*kada(r)(“rock”) (Evenkiкадага(kadaga,“rock, cliff”)),(Canthis⁽⁺⁾ etymology besourced?) howeverOld Turkic -y- instead of the expected -d- is baffling, EDAL suggestsOld Turkic[script needed](kaya,“rock”) is perhaps a borrowing from some archaic "y-dialect"^[2] such as Oghuz, Karluk and Kipchak languages where regular d→δ→y evolution took place. Helimski (1995)^[3] suggests a borrowing fromProto-Samoyedic*koəjə(“mountain”).
