дэвших

Mongolian

Etymology

Proto-Mongolic *deb- +‎ -ших (-ših), compare Kalmyk девшх (devşx).

Perhaps related to дээр (deer) if it stems from earlier *dep-e-re. Note дээшлэх (deešleh).

Alternatively from Proto-Turkic *töpö (“top, hill, top of the head”) (Turkish tepe), see дэв (dev, “terrace, hill, rank, grade”).
