olmak

Etymology
, from, , from. Now-obsolete bolmak was dominant until the end of the 16th century, and coexisted with olmak, which was attested quite early too. The relation between the two is unclear; according to Dybo, forms commencing with o- may very well represent a different root (see ). On the other hand, the geographical distribution of this variant matches quite closely the change *b- > v- (see 🇨🇬, or ) so it may indeed mirror the following change: *bol- > *vol- > ol-. But this change is not seen in b-l words in Turkish (e.g;, , , , , , , ), which raises the possibility that the origin of the word is from.
