Etymology
From the dative inflection of gag trk-oat -mäk/-mak, ultimately from gag trk-pro *-mek. Compare tr -mek, az -mək. The usage of the dative case as the infinitive suffix is probably a gag ro a 1, which also both conveys the same meaning as the Gagauz dative case and forms infinitives. gag -mäk -ä
