سولوك

• سولك‎ (sülük)

Usually derived from Persian زالو‎ (zâlu), زروک‎ (zoruk, “leech”), but the Turkish form needs to be explained in terms of sound. Alternatively, inherited from Proto-Turkic *sül- (“leech”); cognate with Bashkir һөлөк (hölök), Kazakh сүлік (sülık), Kyrgyz сүлүк (sülük), Tatar сөлек (sölek), Turkmen sülük, Uyghur سۈلۈك‎ (sülük) and Uzbek zuluk.
