#Turkish/ #Turkic speakers, can you spot the ones of Turkic origin? (Hint: think of both Bolgar Turkic & Common Turkic)
Ok, I'll just collect the etymologies here: https://twitter.com/l_linguist/status/1356690470261436418?s=19
Kos 'male sheep' < koç 'id' already in some Old Turkic varieties, also pre-modern loan (same form in Turkish too)
Bika 'bull' <Old Turkic *buqa 'id'; compare e. g. Kyrgyz бука, Turkish boğa. Also present in other Finno-Ugric languages as a loan, e.g. Erza бука and in Mongol as бух.
Ikrek: Pl. of iker 'twin', very early loan from a Bolgar Turkic variety *ikir (~ Common Turkic *ikiz, Turkish ikiz). Chuvash has a cognate as an adjective йӗкӗр 'double, paired' and the word is also loaned into other languages, e. g. (Meadow) Mari йыгыр, Mongol ихэр.
Rák 'crab' 
is a loan from an unspecified Slavic language; other Finno-Ugric languages have it as a loan as well (there mostly from Russian), cf Erza рак, Komi рак, Udmurt рак.

szűz 'virgin' is of unidentified origin, probably FU but with problems, mérleg 'scale, balance, libra' is a deverbal noun to mér- 'to measure', vízöntő 'aquarius' is a compound of FU víz 'water' + öntő 'pouring' = 'water-pourer'
Skorpió is a Latin loan (<scorpio(s)), even if ultimately from Greek σκόρπιος, this is a quite obvious one.
nyilas 'sagittarius', lit. 'arrow-man' is derived from nyíl 'arrow' < Proto-Uralic *ńële 'id'; cf Southern Mansi ńėl, Northern Mansi ня̄л (nâ̄l), Finnish nuoli, Estonian nool, Komi ньӧв, Udmurt ньӧл.
Bak 'capricorn' finally is a (Middle High?) German loan from Bock (also with figurative meanings) (o >a is regular).
