بجاق

Karakhanid

Etymology

Derived from بَجاماقْ (bačāmāq, "to fast") which is unattested in Karakhanid but is found within Old Uyghur as 𐽱𐽰𐽽𐽰 (bača-, to fast).[1] Usually considered native, however Caferoğlu suggests a derivation from Sogdian 𐼾𐼰𐽁 (pʾš, fast)[2] instead.[3] Unrelated to Old Uyghur [script needed] (bašïq, hymn) from Sogdian 𐼾𐼰𐽁𐼷𐼸 (pʾšyk, hymn).
