was-odoacer-a-Turk

Attila's deputy and ambassador Edeko's son, Turchilingi's Chieftain Odoacer was maybe a Turk

Or maybe a German! Or maybe both, a mix. Odoacer's name could drive from (my assumption) Ot-Tokı-r, meaning "he who hits with fire". There are many other assumptions, you can read below!

wiki says: ..could be a form of the Turkish "Ot-toghar" ("grass-born" or "fire-born"), or the shorter form "Ot-ghar" ("herder").[17] why not? Turcilingi sounds like a Turkish-German mix word! Turk + ling (German suffix)

His Father EDEKO, EDIKON His son: Thelan or Oklan (oglan (like UHLAN)) His Brother: Hunoulphus all have possible Turkish roots. * Of course the clan of TURCILINGI shouts that it has to do with the Turks. It is very probable that Attila has brought many Turkish clans to Europe!

It was very probable that Odoacer was a Turkish warrior!
