Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/banъ

From earlier *bojan- (compare Byzantine Greek βοάνος (boános), attested in the 10th century, and Proto-Mongolic *bayan (“rich”) which is also borrowed from Turkic), a borrowing from a Turkic language, probably from Pannonian Avar bajan (“ruler of the horde”), the title of the Avars' khagan misinterpreted as a name (compare similar development in *voďь), from Proto-Turkic *bāy (“rich, noble”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *bʰagás. (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?)
