Many of the entries were provided with brief etymological notes by its first editor Harold Bailey, which were corrected and expanded by later linguists. A couple of words remain unexplained. This paper will discuss the body part ehau’:cakä. Bailey compared it with Turkish ökçe ‘heel’ but this was rejected by later authors on phonetic grounds. Bailey’s proposal will be revisited and other connections will be investigated.}, number={1}, publisher={Mehmet ÖLMEZ}
