өйрәкморон

Bashkir

Өйрәкморондар.

Etymology

Composed of өйрәк (öyrək, “duck”) +‎ морон (moron, “nose”). Calque of Russian утконо́с (utkonós).

Compare with Tatar үрдәкборын (ürdäkborın, “platipus”), Uzbek oʻrdakburun (“platipus”), Azerbaijani ördəkburun (“platipus”) - these cognates are made up of components that are etymologically equivalent to those in the Bashkir term.

Also compare Kazakh үйректұмсық (üirektūmsyq, “platipus”), Uyghur ئۆردەكتۇمشۇق (ördektumshuq, “platipus”) - these two have a different second component, which is equivalent to Bashkie томшоҡ (tomşoq).
