Old Turkic

Etymology

Clauson suggest that it might ultimately be derived from Ancient Greek Īš (K, ā€œkappaā€) through intermediaries. According to Clauson, the circle that Ancient Greek Ī” (D, ā€œdeltaā€) had become in Asia was unsuitable for this script which is why the inventor chose to derive it from a variant of Īš (K, ā€œkappaā€).

In an older study, he also suggests Ancient Greek Ī§ (Kh, ā€œchiā€) and gives the reason that the inventor ran out of homophonic models.
