дэвших

Mongolian

Etymology

Proto-Mongolic *deb- + -ших (-ših), compare Kalmyk девшх (devşx).

Perhaps related to дээр (deer) if it stems from earlier *dep-e-re. Note дээшлэх (deešleh).

Alternatively from Proto-Turkic *töpö (top, hill, top of the head) (Turkish tepe), see дэв (dev, terrace, hill, rank, grade).
