Reconstruction:Proto-Turkic/köprüg

Etymology
Originally, it was considered to be a borrowing from, however it has since been refuted due to phonological reasons such as there not being any explanation for the word final *-g.

The current leading theory is the derivation, this is semantically not obvious however both Doerfer and Nişanyan suggests that it may have originally referred to pontoons made of swollen leather comparing the semantics of 🇨🇬 (itself possibly from or  if not directly borrowed from Turkic).

It should also be noted that the Kipchak variant *köpVr is a later secondary development, probably via metathesis, as older Kipchak texts lack such a form. The form *köprig also seen reflected in some descendants may reflect the first form of the word as is suggested to be from earlier *köpir-.
