胡祿

Phono-semantic matching of a name of the form qurluq in a Turkic language.

Compare Proto-Turkic *kur-ug-luk (“bow-case; quiver”, literally “container for something strung”), whence Karakhanid قُرُغْلُقْ (quruɣluq, “quiver”), Khakas хурлух (xurlux, “quiver”).

This is derived from the root *kur- (“to set up; to string; to erect”), whence Turkish kur-.

Also compare Mongolian ᠬᠣᠷ (qor) / хор (xor, “bow-case”), ᠬᠣᠷᠤᠮᠰᠠᠭ᠎ᠠ (qorumsag-a) / хоромсого (xoromsogo, “bow-case”).
