Where this word comes from
Inherited from Ottoman Turkish اشك (eşek, “donkey, ass”), from Proto-Turkic *eĺčgek (“donkey”). Related to Proto-Mongolic *elǰigen (“donkey”), whence Mongolian илжиг (ilžig, “donkey”), perhaps from a common source or a result of language contact. Nişanyan thinks Old Turkic [script needed] (eşgek, “donkey”) may be derived from Old Turkic [script needed] (eş-, “to walk, trot”) (for which see eşmek). Cognates Cognate with Azerbaijani eşşək, Bashkir ишәк (işäk), Chuvash ашак (aš̬ak), Kazakh есек (esek), Kyrgyz эшек (eşek), Tatar ишәк (işäk), Turkmen eşek, Uyghur ئىشەق (isheq) and Uzbek eshak.
