The term "junk" ("jonka" in Russian) refers not only to a Chinese vessel but also, interestingly, to an Indian one.
Its etymology remains unclear, with some attributing it to the Chinese words "chuan" or "zhou."
According to sources, a junk is specifically described as a "sturdy" ship—meaning strong, durable, and resilient.
In the Pshav dialect, the word "jonka" (ჯონქა) means "powerful." Pshavs use this term to describe a bull.
