거위
Korean
Etymology
First attested in the Worin seokbo (月印釋譜 / 월인석보), 1459, as Middle Korean 거유〮 (Yale: kèywú).
Perhaps related to Goguryeo *巨老 (*kəru), attested in Samguk sagi toponyms.
Possibly also related to Japanese 雁 (kari, “goose”) and Mongolian галуу (galuu, “goose”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
