## Turkish
### Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish قیا (kaya), قایا (kaya, “rock”), from Proto-Turkic *k(i)aya (“rock, mountain”). Possibly akin to Proto-Mongolic *kada (“rock”) (Mongolian хад (xad, “large rock, cliff”)) and Proto-Tungusic *kada(r) (“rock”) (Evenki кадага (kadaga, “rock, cliff”)), (Can this etymology be sourced?) however Old Turkic -y- instead of the expected -d- is baffling, EDAL suggests Old Turkic [script needed] (kaya, “rock”) is perhaps a borrowing from some archaic "y-dialect" such as Oghuz, Karluk and Kipchak languages where regular d→δ→y evolution took place. Helimski (1995) suggests a borrowing from Proto-Samoyedic *koəjə (“mountain”).
Cognate with Old Turkic [script needed] (kaya, “rock”), Azerbaijani qaya (“rock”), Bashkir ҡая (qaya, “rock, cliff”), Khakas хая (xaya, “rock”), Turkmen gaýa (“rock, cliff”), Tuvan хая (xaya, “rock”), Uzbek qoya (“rock, cliff”), Yakut хайа (qaya, “mountain”).
