tartmak

Turkish

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish طارتمق (tartmak, to weigh, ponder in mind, estimate), from Proto-Turkic *tart- (to pull; to hang).

Cognate with Old Turkic [script needed] (tart-, to pull, weigh), Azerbaijani dartmaq (to tow, tug, pull), Bashkir тартыу (tartıw, to pull, weigh), Chuvash туртма (turtma, to pull, drag, carry, weigh), Kazakh тарту (tartu, to pull), Khakas тартарға (tartarğa, to pull, carry), Kyrgyz тартуу (tartuu, to pull, draw), Turkmen tartmak (to pull, stretch), Uyghur تارتماق (tartmaq, to pull, weigh), Uzbek tortmoq (to pull, weigh), Yakut тарт (tart, to pull). Perhaps also related to Mongolian татах (tatax, to pull), either from a common source, or as a borrowing from Turkic.[1]
