comment Originally it meant the canon ball, then, as a result of metonymy, 'a canon' (Лосева-Бахтиярова 2005, 44-45). The same in Turkm., Azer., Gag., Uyg., Kaz., Kyrg., Nog., Kkalp., Karaim (Crim.)., Uzb., Kbalk., Tat., Bashk., Chuv. It has been borrowed in Bulg., Serb., Tadj., Pers. In the meaning of canon. In Old Turk. It meant "ball" (ДТС, 575).С XIV века известно в качестве названия артиллерийского орудия у тюркских народов (Беленицкий 1949, 31, Росляков А. А. Воинское искуство Средней Азии и Казахстана в VI -XV вв. // Ученые записки туркменского гос. Университета им. Горького, вып. XXI, Ашхабад, 1962, 229).
