Hapax-legomenon-irikan-versus-Tuerkic-yoriga

Pic: wiki

*

In Lexicon of Hesychius of Alexandria we see that hapax legomenon:

ἰρικάν (irikan): ἰρικάν ἵππος οἰνωπὸς χρώματι, which literally translates to "a horse wine-colored in its skin/hair".

Etymology? 

None!

I have one:

Türkic yorga/yorıga at means a horse with a special gait; a certain type of horse gait that keeps the rider stable.

This Türkic word corresponds with that happy legomena nearly a 100 %.

Both in sound and meaning we can say that those words are related to each other. 

To the attestations pf that Türkic word:

The phrase "Yorga Yarış" found in the Shine-Usu Inscription constitutes the earliest known written record of *rahvan* (ambling) riding in the history of Turkish horsemanship. Based on this document, which dates back to 745 AD, we can state that this distinctive equine gait—which allows the rider to cover long distances without being jolted—has been practiced for over 1,200 years. The concept of *yorga* appears in the sentence "...I speared the army of Yogra Yarış there," found on the southern face of the 8th-century Shine-Usu Inscription — one of the Old Turkic Inscriptions. Here, "Yorga Yarış" is cited as the name of a steppe.

In *Divanü Lûgati't-Türk*, the 11th-century work by Kaşgarlı Mahmud, the *yorga* horse appears as "*yonga at*"; the text also mentions the *yorga*-gaited "...

It should derive ultimately from yorı- to walk.

Kurgan-a-short-definition

Pazyryk burial from Baga Turgen Gol site, Bayan-Ölgiy province, Western Mongolia (pic: wiki)

Kurgans were the burial places of "real centaurs".

Kurgane waren die Begräbnisstätten von „echten Zentauren“.

Kurganlar, "gerçek atadamların" gömüldükleri yerdi.

Курганы были местами захоронения «настоящих кентавров».

*

The kurgans were neither Indo-European, nor Iranian, nor Aryan, nor Persian. They must have belonged only to the Turks, the true owners of the steppes.

Die Kurgane waren weder indogermanisch, noch iranisch, noch arisch, noch persisch. Sie müssen allein den Türken gehört haben, den wahren Besitzern der Steppe.

Kurganlar ne Hint-Avrupa, ne İran, ne Aryan, ne de Fars kökenliydi. Ancak bozkırların gerçek sahipleri olan Türklere ait olabilirlerdi.

Курганы не были ни индоевропейскими, ни иранскими, ни арийскими, ни персидскими. Они, должно быть, принадлежали только туркам, истинным владельцам степей.

That's all I have to say.

Das ist alles, was ich dazu zu sagen habe.

Söyleyeceklerim bu kadar.

Это всё, что я хотел сказать.

He-goat (pic:wiki)

*

ἀττηγός / attēgós, meaning a he-goat in Ancient Greek and according to Frisk a LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin]. See the Phrygian word attagus. [1]

A word of uncertain origin, I could easily say!

*

In many Altaic languages we can see very similar words like:

­t ̔ku a horned animal: Tung. *tōKī; Mong. *togij; Turk. *teke.
PTung. *tōKī elk (лось): Evk. tōkī; Evn. tōkị; Neg. tōk; Man. toχo; Ul. tō; Ork. tō; Nan. tō; Orch. tōki; Sol. tōxi.

◊ ТМС 2, 191-192. Evk. > Dolg. tōkī (see Stachowski 227).
PMong. *togij grown-up elk (взрослый лось): WMong. togij

(БАМРС); Kh. togi.
PTurk. *teke he-goat (козел): OTurk. teke (OUygh.); Karakh. teke (MK, IM); Tur. teke; Gag. teke; Az. täkä; Turkm. teke; Khal. täkä; MTurk. teke (Sangl.); Uzb. taka; Uygh. tekä; Krm. teke, tege; Tat. täkä ‘козел,баран’; Bashk. täkä ‘he-goat, ram’; Kirgh. teke; Kaz. tekä; KBalk. teke; KKalp. teke; Kum. teke; Nogh. teke; SUygh. teke; Oyr. teke; Tv. de ̔ge, te ([dhe]); Tof. te’he; Chuv. taga ‘he-goat, ram’. 

There may have been some confusion between this root and another one, represented by PT *Tagɨ ‘female kulan’ (OT taɣɨ, see EDT 466; Bulg. toxə ‘horse’) and bor- rowed in (or corresponding to?) Mong. taki ‘wild horse’.[2]

*

Old Türkic tagı: female wild donkey.[3]

The 'a' at the beginning of the word could be the 'a' that Indo-Europeans arbitrarily added.

*

As we can see here, there is nothing preventing the word from being an Türkic/Altaic loanword.

(Acc. to wiki the place where the goat was domesticated is Central-Asia and Middle-East).[4]

The word's development must have been as follows:

Türkic tagı > Phrygian (a)ttăgu-s > Greek (ἀ)ττηγό-ς / (a)ttēgó-s

Conclusion: Pastoral nomadic Türks should have domesticated the goat and brought it to Anatolia and the ancient Greeks adopted the animal and its name from them.

TÜRKÇE

ἀττηγός / attēgós, Eski Yunancada erkek keçi anlamına gelir ve Frisk'e göre bir LW [muhtemelen Ön-Yunanca kökenli olmayan bir ödünç SÖZCÜK]. Frigce attagus sözcüğüne bakın. [1]

Kökeni belirsiz bir sözcük, rahatlıkla söyleyebilirim!

*

Birçok Altay dilinde çok benzer kelimeler görebiliriz:

t ̔ku boynuzlu hayvan: Tung. *tōKī; Mong. *togij; Türkçe *teke.

PTung. *tōKī geyik (лось): Evk. tōkī; Evn. tōkị; Neg. tōk; Man. toχo; Ul. tō; Ork. tō; Nan. tō; Orch. toki; Sol. toxi.

◊ ТМС 2, 191-192. Evk. > Dolg. tōkī (bkz. Stachowski 227).

PMong. *togij yetişkin geyik (взрослый лось): WMong. togij

(БАМРС); Kh. togi.

PTürk. *teke keçi (козел): OTürk. teke (OUygh.); Karakh. teke (MK, IM); Tur. teke; Şaka. teke; Az. taka; Türkm. teke; Khal. taka; MTürk. teke (Sangl.); Uzb. Taka; Uygh. teka; Krm. teke, tege; Tat. täkä 'козел,баран'; Başk. täkä 'keçi, koç'; Kirgh. teke; Kaz. teka; KBalk. teke; KKalp. teke; Kum. teke; Hayır. teke; Suhhh. teke; Oyr. teke; TV. de ̔ge, te ([dhe]); Tof. işte; Chuv. taga 'keçi, koç'.

Bu kök ile PT *Tagɨ 'dişi kulan' (OT taɣɨ, bkz. EDT 466; Bulg. toxə 'at') ile temsil edilen ve Mong'dan ödünç alınan (veya buna karşılık gelen?) başka bir kök arasında bazı karışıklıklar olmuş olabilir. taki 'vahşi at'.[2]

*

Eski Türkçe tagı: Dişi yaban eşeği. [3]

Kelimenin başındaki 'a', Hint-Avrupalıların keyfi olarak eklediği 'a' olabilir.

*

Burada gördüğümüz gibi, kelimenin Türkçe/Altayca bir ödünç kelime olmasını engelleyen hiçbir şey yok.

(Vikipediye göre keçinin evcilleştirildiği yer Orta Asya ve Orta Doğu'dur.) [4]

Sözcüğün gelişimi şu şekilde olmalıdır:

Türkçe tagı > Frigce (a)ttăgu-s > Yunanca (ἀ)ττηγό-ς / (a)ttēgó-s

Sonuç: Göçebe çoban Türkler keçiyi evcilleştirmiş ve Anadolu'ya getirmiş olmalı ve eski Yunanlılar hayvanı ve adını onlardan almışlardır.
