Some-Scythian-words-names-versus-Turkic-roots

 

*

Strymon was a Scythian man. If we throw the first S (S-mobile of Indo Europeans?) then we have Trymon. It sounds like Turkic "Toraman" meaning very big. We know that the suffix -man is a very old Turkic intensifying suffix meaning "a lot, huge amount of..., many, very".

Like Saruman (look at Saruman in Lord of the Rings) means in Turkish "very white".

*

Ugoroi: a Scythian tribe.

Pauly says: 

"There are experts who deny the identity of this people." (see first sentence).

Ugor/Ogur are the same, aren't they?

Ogur is a Turkic word meaning simply 'the tribe'.

There are many Ogurs: 

For instance On ogur > Hungary

Or Kutrigur, etc...

*

Iastei

A Scythian tribe (of Indo German origin?)

Would say they could have been Turkic, too.

*

Yas could be Turkic "yaş" meaning green, fresh.

Turkic "yaz" on the other hand means "summer" and the verb "yas-" means "to make flat"

Tai means mountain. (like in Tau-rus).

Now "Iastai" (Yastai) could be 

Flat Mountain

Green Mountain

Summer Mountain

or the tribes from there. 

*

Edoi (Ἠδοί)

A Scythian tribe

Look at the Turkic word: edi/idi, meaning host, owner, master.

*

Gargareis: a Scythian tribe

Karga(garga): crow, probably from kara: black

Garga er? Crow men? 

*

Geloni: A Scythian tribe

Turkic YILAN?: snake

*

Gnissi, a Scythian tribe

Güneş/Küneş means in Turkish "the day or the sun". 

Other meanings in other dialects are "sunny place, hot place"

*

Gorgippia: Ancient city on the Black Sea, called after the Scythian Tribe that lived there.

Turkic Korku: the fear (like on Gorgon)
