Reconstruction talk:Proto-Turkic/kara

RFC discussion: October 2013
Only one word long. Made by a random anon. Since kara exists in Turkish, I’m guessing that this reconstruction is legitimate. --Æ&#38;Œ (talk) 02:26, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

"Akin"
, my understanding of the "akin" usage in etymologies is that this indicates a similarity to something else, not necessarily a relation. This Proto-Turkic term kara is broadly similar to Mongolic and Japonic, no? ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 23:41, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * "of the same kin". I perceive it as meaning the same as "related to" or even "cognate with". Similarities without implying relation are often expressed by comparisons ("compare ..."). &mdash; surjection &lang;??&rang; 11:34, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
