ерик

Russian

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): [(j)ɪrʲɪk]

Etymology

Borrowed from Turkic. Per Vasmer, from *yarïk (“crack, fracture”), compare Turkish yarık, ultimately from Proto-Turkic *yār- (“to split”).^[1]

However, more likely from *ayïrïk (“fork, crossroad, creek, brook”), particularly compare ablauted Tatar әйерек (äyerek), ultimately from Proto-Turkic *adïr- (“to tear apart”).^[2]
