*sunkur-

1 to search (through) 2 to ask

Japanese: *sunkur-
Comments: EDT 816. Федотов 2, 466-467 derives the Chuv. form < *sōr(a)- 'ask' (v. sub *sṓra), but the initial š- remains unclear in both cases. Because of this, and because of the Hapax nature of the OT form the it is actually not quite clear whether the root *sogra- exists at all. An argument in its favour is the semantic match between OT and Chagatai and the resulting semantic distinction (*'search (through)') from *sōr(a)- 'ask'.
