اورنك

See also: اورنگ

Ottoman Turkish

Etymology 1

Perhaps a derivation from *ȫr- / *ör- or some metathesized derivation of *ög- / *ögre-. Compare Kazakh өрнек (örnek), 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]
