كوی

Uncertain; perhaps from Proto-Turkic *kon-, *ko- (“to put”), whence قونمق‎ (konmak, “to settle, perch”) and قومق‎ (komak, “to put”). Alternatively, Nişanian proposes a derivation from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (kwd /⁠kōy⁠/, “lane, street”).

• IPA^(key): /cøj/
• (Western Western Rumelia often) IPA^(key): /co̞j/
