    Etymology

    [edit]

    According to Nişanyan, fromPersianپای(pây,“foot”), with the sense ”share” originating from thePersian expression borrowed intoOld Anatolian Turkishبای برابر(pây-berâber,“equally, to the same proportion”, literally“equal foot”). The word is present in its modern sense in XIVth centuryBook of Dede Korkut.The non-Oghuz Turkic cognates, such asKirgiz andYakutпай(pay,“share”) are, according to Nişanyan, a borrowing from theOttoman Turkishپای, viaRussianпай(paj).However it is more possibly borrowed fromMiddle Chinese派(pʰaiH) as early as 7th century and inherited by later Turkic languages.
