اورنك

See also: اورنگ

Ottoman Turkish

Etymology 1

Perhaps a derivation from *ȫr- / *ör- or some metathesized derivation of *ög- / *ögre-. Compare Bashkir үрнәк (ürnək), Kazakh өрнек (örnek), Kyrgyz өрнөк (örnök), Uzbek o'rnak, Uyghur ئۆرنەك (örnek), Tatar үрнәк (ürnäk).

According to Budagov, borrowed from Middle Armenian օրինակ (ōrinak), from Old Armenian օրինակ (ōrinak, “example”),[1][2] which is called into question by Sevortyan[3] and rejected by Lewis.[4]

Origin from گورمك (görmek, “to see”) has also been suggested,[5] but such a formation is unusual in Turkic, and the drop of g- would remain unexplained.[2][6]
