New Suggestions about Some Words in Yenisey Inscriptions

New Suggestions about Some Words in Yenisey Inscriptions
Istanbul University, Turkey
(59th Annual Meeting, 2016)

Yenisey inscriptions written in Runic letter or Gokturk script have a crucial importance not only for the history of Turkish language, but also for Turkish culture. Several researches on Yenisey inscriptions have been made until today since the discovery of these inscriptions. Researchers have suggested new readings and interpretations on the first reading of Yenisey inscriptions. While some of these suggestions corrected the mistakes in previous publications, other suggestions resulted in false pronunciation of the words which were formerly pronounced correctly.

In this study, new readings and interpretations about some words on the Yenisey inscriptions are suggested. The aim of this study is to investigate manuscripts profoundly and to state their significance in Turkish language and culture.
