Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish اشك‎ (eşek, “donkey, ass; a silly, stupid, perverse man”), from Proto-Turkic *eĺgek (“donkey”).[1] Related to Proto-Mongolic *elǯigen (“donkey”), hence Mongolian илжиг (ilžig, “donkey”), perhaps from a common source or a result of language contact.[2] Nişanyan thinks Old Turkic [script needed] (eşgek, “donkey”) may be derived from Old Turkic [script needed] (eş-, “to walk, trot”) (for which see eşmek).[3]

Cognate with Old Turkic [script needed] (eşgek, “donkey”), Azerbaijani eşşək (“donkey”), Bashkir ишәк (išäk, “donkey”), Kazakh есек (esek), Chuvash ашак (ašak, “donkey”), Karachay-Balkar, Kyrgyz эшек (eşek, “donkey”), Turkmen eşek (“donkey”), Uzbek eshak (“donkey”).
