Turkish

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish أوت‎ (evet), from Common Turkic.[1][2][3] Cognate with Karakhanid [script needed] (yemet, “yes”). Nişanyan suggest that it may be a doublet of dialectal Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value) and suggests a derivation from Proto-Turkic *ẹ̄b- (“to be quick”) whence ivmek, however note the mismatch in initial vowels.[4] EDAL considers Chuvash аван (avan) to also be a cognate and reconstructs Proto-Turkic *ebe-,[5] however such a root is unattested and usually not reconstructed outside of EDAL.

Replaced the formerly prevalent ha (“yes”), now largely limited to dialectal and colloquial use.
