Where this word comes from

From Ottoman Turkish ایكه (eye, iye, eğe, iğe), ایكا, ایه (iye, eye), from Old Anatolian Turkish ایه (eye, iye), اكن (egen) from Proto-Turkic *idi. Was rarely used after 16th Century in Istanbul, but stayed in use dialectally. Reintroduced to the literary language as a Turkic synonym of Arabic sahip. Doublet of ege and obsolete *is/*ıs (whence ıssız (“deserted, uninhabited”)).
