 * Nişanyan considers the possibility *ȫdrek might be the original form and puts forth a derivation from, however he does elaborate on its morphology or phonology.
 * Clauson suggests a derivation from in reference to ducks rising out of the water, however there does not exist a suffix *-dek.
 * EDAL reconstructs *Ebür(d)ek in order to connect it with and  under the disputed Altaic theory.
