köken: Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *stel-der. Proto-Italic *stlokos? Old Latin stlocus Latin locus Inherited from Old Latin stlocus, possibly from Proto-Italic *stlokos, from Proto-Indo-European *stel- (“to put, place, locate”). However, De Vaan is skeptical of this derivation due to the suffix *-okos not being attested in any other word, and leaves the origin open.
köken: Borrowed from Old Khmer taṃneṅ (“administration, governance; administrator, governor; used as a slave name”), an extended form of Old Khmer teṅ (“to administer; to govern; used as a title of rank or function; etc”), whence Thai แต่ง (dtɛ̀ng). Cognate with Lao ຕຳແໜ່ງ (tam nǣng), Northern Khmer ตัมแนญ, Modern Khmer តំណែង (tɑmnaeng).
From Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (qonuq). Ultimately from Proto-Turkic *kon- (“spend the night”), whence also Azerbaijani qonşu (“neighbour”) and Azerbaijani qonaq (“guest”). Compare Turkish konuk (“guest”), Crimean Tatar qonaq (“meeting room”), Chuvash хӑна (hăna, “guest”).
