تمرماق

Karakhanid

Etymology

Inherited from Common Turkic *tamur- (to bleed). Transitive form of تَمّاقْ (tammāq, to drip). Clauson states the spelling with a fatha must be incorrect, Erdal considers the Old Uyghur form [script needed] (tomur-) to be a secondary rounded form as a result of the neighbouring bilabial consonant /m/.

Verb

  1. (intransitive) to bleed, specifically of nose
    اَرْ بُرْنٖى تَمُرْدٖىEr burnï̄ tamurdï̄.The man's nose bled.
