Etymology

From Proto-Turkic *köri-, *köŕ- (“to see, look”).[1] Azerbaijani göz (“eye”) is equally derived from the Proto-Turkic root *kör- (“to see, look”) according to the regular sound change of /ŕ/ to /z/ in Common Turkic, whereas this shift did not occur in Azerbaijani görmək and its cognate verbs in other Turkic languages, such as Old Turkic 𐰚𐰇𐰼 (kör-, “to see”), Turkish görmek (“to see”), Kazakh көру (köru, “to see”), Uzbek koʻrmoq (“to see”), etc.

  • IPA(key): [ɟœrˈmæk], [-mæj]
