| Comment | The word adag in Buriat means 'end, last, final', but it was borrowed from Turkic adag 'leg' which in some languages also means 'mouth of a river'. It's possible that the secondary meaning of a Turkic word might be borrowed as well. In the last case it is related to the shift 0517 'foot/leg' -> mouth (of a river). | |
