SOUND
The reviewed study places kayguk in an internal Turkic *kad- / *kad-ï history; a competing *kay- “turn, bend” account remains open.
MEANING
A fir-tree or wood base is proposed to have developed into a boat word, plausibly through material association.

SOUND
Old Turkic kayguk develops into Turkish kayık through documented Turkic consonant-cluster reduction and vowel history; it does not descend from Inuit qayaq.
MEANING
The small-boat referent remains central.

“Every” means every descendant in the reviewed SET-U graph. It does not convert missing scholarship or missing ingestion into a claim of historical completeness. The coverage ledger remains the honest denominator.
