today I want to write about ass; Turkish göt.
I take a look at the book on my desk. It is "the comparative dictionary of Indogerman languages - Word-hoard of Celtic section," by August Fick, 1894.
We see the word getto (no! not ghetto) meaning back, bottom, coccyx, ass; Arsch, Steiss.
Old Irish gett, Old Celtic getto, Irish gead (haunch), all meaning the same -> bottom!
And now the Turkish word GÖT!
Göt means bottom, ass, back, Arsch, Hintern, too!
Göt derived from Ancient Turkish köt (another version -kıç-) for back, ridge and ass.
Similar? Same?
I think, the Turks and the Indo-Europeans were longer neighbors than we accept.
