• IPA^(key): /siːkə/

сиик • (siik) (Clear script spelling ᠰᡅᡅᡍᡅ (sᡅᡅᡍᡅ))

1. earring

Inherited from Proto-Ketic *sijʌk (“bait”), which according to CHYD, is derived from Proto-Yeniseian *sijʌ (“eat”, infinitive verb) + Proto-Ketic *daq (“lump?”) (cf. Proto-Ketic *dʲaqpʰɯl (“heap, lump”)).^[1]

Alternatively, analyzable as a compound of сий (sìj, “eating, the act of eating”) +‎ даӄпуль (dáqbulʲ, “piece, lump, heap”), more precisely the first constituent of the compound *-даӄ, but note the velar-uvular auslaut discrepancy between síìk instead of the expected *síìq.

From Proto-Turkic *čï̄g (“wet, moist; dew”). Compare Turkish çiy (“dew”) (see the Azerbaijani entry above the Turkish one for more) and Turkmen çyg (“moisture”). Other Turkic languages tend to use a term derived from Persian نم (“moisture, humidity, dew”).
