The Turkish verb "um-" meaning "to wish, to hope" has been derived in modern Turkish with the suffix +Ut. For more information, check for "um-". The Persian "ūmīd" < Middle Persian "ēmēd/ummēd" (with the same meaning) requires an explanation of its equivalence. Doerfer and Clauson argue that the Old Turkish word is borrowed from Persian. However, the derivation of the Old Turkish verb "um-" from a noun is not convincing. Compare Old Turkish "umuğ, umunç" meaning "wish, expectation". I hope that you will correctly amend the information on your website regarding the root "um-" that appears in Proto-Turkic languages. It is important to clarify that this root is not related to Persian, ensuring that no misleading information is presented. [noted -ed]
