father

Karakhanid

Etymology 1

Inherited from Common Turkic *apa (“ancestor”).Kashgari's attempt at tying it with Arabic أَب (ʔab) and Tibetan པ་ཕ (pa pha) are folk etymology based on similar phonology. The meaning "bear" is a result of taboo speech.

Noun

اَبا (apā)

father
Synonym: اَتا (atā)
(Oghuz) mother
Synonym: اَنا (anā)
(Kipchak) bear
Synonym: اَذِغْ (aδïğ)

Etymology 2

Clauson and Tekin suggest a native Turkic origin, reconstructable to Common Turkic *ōpa.^[1] On the other hand, Räsänen, Eren and Nişanyan consider it a borrowing from Middle Mongol ᠣᠪᠤᠭ᠎ᠠ (obug-a, “pile, mass; boundary”)^[2] from ᠣᠪᠤᠶᠢᠬᠤ (obuyiqu, “to pile up”).^[3]^[4]^[5]

Noun

اُبا (obā)
