suq-

Meaning:
to insert, to thrust in
Details:
Many modern non-Oghuz Turkic languages still distinguish sok- “to beat, crush” from suk- “to insert, thrust in”. In Southwestern/Oghuz Turkic this distinction was mostly lost: only the sok- / sox- type survives, but chiefly with the meanings of old suk- “to insert, thrust in”.
