köken: Inherited from Old Spanish alcarchofa, from Andalusian Arabic الخرشوفة (al-ḵaršúfa), from Arabic الخُرْشُوف (al-ḵuršūf, “artichoke”). Compare Portuguese alcachofra and Catalan carxofa. Related to English artichoke.

çekim: çoğul bullae · tamlayan bullae
köken: Uncertain; possibly from Gaulish [Term?], from Proto-Indo-European *bew- (“swelling”), same source as Middle Dutch puyl (“bag”) and Lithuanian bule (“buttocks”), or from *bʰel- (“to blow, to swell up”). Ultimately onomatopoeic.
köken: From vòi (“faucet”) + hoa (“flower”) + sen (“lotus”), from the resemblance of the showerhead to a lotus pod. Compare Thai ฝักบัว (fàk-buua), Khmer ផ្កាឈូក (phkaa chuuk), Lao ບົວ (būa), all meaning “shower” and involving a reference to lotus.

to clack, to patter · to knock, to tap, to clap · to strike, to hew, to smite
çekim: geçmiş none · ortaç чу́кан · şimdiki чу́ка · ulaç чу́кащ
köken: Inherited from Proto-Slavic *čukati, at least partially of onomatopoeic origin. Some of the meanings may reflect an e-ablaut of ку́я (kúja, “to hew”) (dialectal) + -кам (-kam).
köken: From Old Galician-Portuguese maçãa, from Vulgar Latin māla (“apples”) mattiana (“of Mattium”), though some theorize that mattiana was an Iberian pronunciation of the Gallo-Roman word matianium, a golden apple named after Gaius Matius, a horticulturist and friend of Caesar.
köken: Čubinov compares with Old Armenian կոպ (kop, “eyelid”), which, unbeknownst to him, would parallel the equation of otherwise obscure Mishnaic Hebrew רֽיס (rīs, “eyelid; eyelash; a race-course or stadium; the measure called stadion”) with Old Armenian երէզ (erēz, “band, bandage”) and Old Georgian რეზი (rezi, “body bandage”) and Old Armenian ասպարէզ (asparēz, “racecourse, stadium; stadion”).
