сәскә
Bashkir
Etymology
From Proto-Turkic *čeček (“flower”). Cognates include Old Turkic [script needed] (čečäk), Tuvan and Southern Altai чечек (čeček), Kazakh шешек (şeşek), Uzbek chechak, Uyghur چېچەك (chëchek), Turkish, Gagauz, Crimean Tatar çiçek, Azerbaijani çiçək.
The background of the metathesis *säsäk → säskä that took place in Bashkir remains yet to be explored. One possible reason for it may have been to resolve the homonymy that is ubiquitous in most Turkic languages: the descendants of the archetype čeček mean both "flower" and "smallpox". Secondly, it may have been promoted by the influence of a Oghur stratum in Bashkir; compare Chuvash ҫеҫке (śeśke, “flower”).
