балға

From Proto-Turkic *balka (“hammer”). Compare Proto-Mongolic *haluka (“hammer”), Proto-Tungusic *palụka (“hammer”). The word is often considered a Wanderwort, and the similarity of Akkadian 𒁄 (pilaqqu, “wooden handle; spindle, harp”) (from Sumerian 𒁄 (balag, “wooden handle; spindle, harp; possibly a split piece of wood or wooden wedge”)) has led some to suggest that it is borrowed from Akkadian.
