yürümek

From Ottoman Turkish يوریمك‎ (yürümek, “to walk, advance”). In Turkish, Old Turkic and different Turkic dialects; the verb was attested in different forms alternating between back or front vowels such as yorı-, yöri-, yüri- . Clauson regards all forms together, but notes that yorı- is attested earlier. From Proto-Turkic *yorï-, *yüri- (“to walk”). Altaicists compare to Evenki [script needed] (dūrē-, “to walk, wander”), Japanese 寄る (yoru, “to come up, come near”), Mongolian дүрвэх (dürveh, “to flee, run away in fear”) and reconstruct Proto-Altaic *dōre.[1]
