bakar is from ottomanic turkish
Makes sense, considering everything. I was just pointing out that it's interesting we did have a word for it (old slavic smedъ, apparently? I can't rly find much for it, but mjed means brass, and in russian (med') and polish (miedź) it's apparently used for - copper!) but still adopted a non-slavic word for it.
#dw i have an interest in etymologies so i do know these things#and how to ~guesstimate which language a loanword came from#asks
