The -üin auslaut is probably a possessive suffix which originally created the so-called secondizafet in compounds such as Kirg. meke žügörü – cf. Tksh.dial. cögür ‘species of grass’DS, and Tksh. mysyr bugdajy ‘corn’ and Ott. šam darysy id. Eren 1999, Tksh.dial. daryTS. We believe that Dmitrieva’s 1972 proposition to connect the word with OTkc.ügür &c. has much to commend it (see ügür ‘millet’).Cf. meke žügörü.
