köken: Inherited from Old East Slavic мои (moi), from Proto-Slavic *mojь, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *majas, from Proto-Indo-European *móyos (“my; mine”). Cognate with Old Prussian mais.
köken: Diffused from Mashreqi military colloquials, presumably a borrowing from Ottoman Turkish لغم (lağım). We cannot wholly rule out, perhaps via back-formation from a plural, kinship with لَاقُومَة (lāqūme, “putty”), as both matters are fitted to the joints of a building, in which case the Ottoman Turkish term can also be borrowed from Arabic.
mine (excavation from which ore or solid minerals are taken, especially one consisting of underground tunnels) · mine (any source of wealth or resources)
mine (place from which ore is extracted) · healing spring or bath
çekim: çoğul bányák
köken: The meaning “mine” is attested since 1240, “healing spring” since 1577, “bath” since 1585. Ultimately from a Slavic language; compare Proto-Slavic *baňa.
From Middle Dutch ontginnen, derived with prefix ont- from Proto-Germanic *ginnaną, which is not attested in unprefixed form in any Germanic language (compare beginnen and Old Dutch aginnan). Cognate to Old English onginnan and Old Saxon andginnan.
