Old Uyghur

Etymology

Found in fragmentary Manichaean manuscripts, originally written in Arabic script, not found in modern dictionnaries. Etymology unknown.

Perhaps a corrupted form of Proto-Turkic *bodug (“color”), in which case, from Proto-Turkic *bodu- (“to paint”). However, this would yield *بود (bod) in this stage of Old Uyghur instead.
Or inherited from Proto-Turkic *bod (“color”) (similar to *bod (“stature”)), perhaps the origin of *bodu- (“to paint”), otherwise unattested or lost in any other Turkic language.^[1]^[2]
