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)
shaft (in a mine; in a building) · mine (an explosive device)
çekim: çoğul aknák
köken: It is attested as Acnahege (*aknahegy) (1197/1337), Akana (1222), akonájá (1621). Ultimately from a Slavic language, from Proto-Slavic *okъno (“window”). The sense ‘explosive device’ came into being by ellipsis of tűzakna (“underground tunnel filled with explosives”, literally “fire shaft”).
