# evren
## Turkish
### Pronunciation

* IPA: [evˈɾæn]
* Hyphenation: ev‧ren

### Etymology 1

Learned borrowing from Old Anatolian Turkish اورن (ävrän). Traditionally derived from evir- (“to spin”) +‎ -en. Cognate with Old Turkic 𐰋𐰼 (ebir-). Compare Gagauz evrem.
Rarely used after the 15th century, until it was revived during the Turkish language reform as a Turkic equivalent for the Arabic borrowing kâinat. The difference in meaning presumably comes from the dragon's mythicized perks of covering and spinning the earth.

#### Noun

    Synonym: kâinat
