Reconstruction:Proto-Turkic/kańak

Etymology
There have been a few theories on the derivation:
 * 1) Clauson derives from a hypothetical *kań-, however such a verb is not attested.
 * 2) Nişanyan instead suggests.
 * 3) Doerfer suggests a derivation from a hypothetical *kāyïn-, the passive of, however this is unlikely on phonological grounds.

Noun

 * 1) cream, kaymak
