He instead derives the name Čač from Late Proto-Turkic *t1iāt2(ă) "stone", which he proposes to be seemingly another translation, besides the apparent Chinese translation 石 shí "stone", of *kaŋk- (whence Chinese transcription 康居 EHC *kʰɑŋ-kɨɑ > standard Chinese Kāngjū), which possibly meant "stone".

Who acts: Čač, stone, kʰɑŋ kɨɑ · What happens: derive, propose, be, mean · To what, where: name, Late Proto Turkic, translation, stone
