Arabic Tark ترك
Latin Targum/Tergus/Tergo
Turkish Terki/Terke
Arabic, Latin and Turkish belong to 3 different language families.
But there many nice and startling similarities.
Look at these below:
Arabic tark means to leave, to depart. Modern Turkish word terk etmek is a direct borrowing from Arabic, meaning to leave, to leave behind, to go away
Latin Tergum/Tergus/Tergo meaning very similar. rear, to flee, to run away, the rear part of the body, in the rear
Modern Turkish Terke/Terki meaning the rear, the rear part of the horse derived from the Old Turkish verb der-/ter- meaning to get together, make something to go or make something to leave, (bereit machen)

A nice coincidence anyway!
