    (PU)D budursı:n ‘quail, Coturnyx’; as such Hap. leg., but obviously connected with the later words for ‘quail’ assembled below. Kaş. does not contemplate the existence of Turkish words containing six consonants and a long vowel, and it is possible that the original form was *buldursı:n, which links with the later forms and perhaps explains the intervocalic -d-, very rare in Xak.; -sı:n is a very rare Suff. but may have the same relation to -çın, which occurs as a Suff. of other names of birds, as -sıl to -çıl. The later form survives in SW Az. bildircin; Osm. bıldırcın, but all other modern languages use some form of Mong. büdüne (Kow. 1230, Haltod 312). Xak. XI budursı:n al-salwā ‘quail’ Kaş.
