PIE-As-versus-Turkish-Ağız


I have written about Latin Mouth "os", meaning mouth.
Look at the link below for further info:

I was tracking further and now have the book

Vergleichendes Wörterbuch der Indogermanischen Sprachen;by Fick, August, 1890

in my hand.

Indoeuropean (and Sanscrit) word "âs" means mouth, too. Turkish ağız (read it like German "aus") is very compatible with that. And this, not only in sound but also in meaning. Even more similar than the Latin os.

There are many more examples.
Look at these Turkish dialects:

Kazan Tatar: aus
Sagay: âs
Tuva: aas

Tuvan and Sagay Turkish word "aas" or "âs" is the same word like in Porto Indo European, for the same body part.

And now it gets spectacular=> Hittites had called this part of the face "ais". It is apparently a very long tradition with the name of this important organ.
