Herodotus-Budini-Turkic-word-Budun

 

Herodotus-History-Tarih

Herodotus wrote about nomadic 'the BUDINI' who lived east of Don River. Aristoteles wrote that the Budini had a place called Kariskos where they raised BLACK sheep.

I see here 2 Turkic words:

Budin~Budun (the tribesmen) 

and 

Kar/kara~black. Karisyk; KAra and (SIK?)

a Polish scholar attempts an etymological explanation and he found out that their name should mean "tribesmen". 

Budun means simply "tribesmen" in Turkic. 

A very old word. Prof. Osman Karatay wrote about as far as I can remember about this issue in his newest book, too. Interesting?

We come always closer to Scythians' possible Turkic roots with those names like Tauri (Dağ eri = Mountain dwellers) and Budini.
