Turkic-Baklan-Pre-Greek-Pelikan

 


Baklan-A black pelican?



Pelikansılardan Baklan birçok Türk ağzında genelde büyük su kuşu, karabatak/kormoran anlamındadır. Türkçedir. (>Rusça баклан) Stachowski 'Yunanca Pelikan'ın bozulmuş şekli olabilir' der. PreGreek uzmanı Beekes ise 'Pelikan Yunanca-öncesi bir sözcüktür' der. * Çıkmaz sokaktayız.

EnglishVersion:


From the pelican-like birds, Baklan generally means a big water bird, cormorant/kormoran in many Turkish dialects. 

It is a Turkish word. (>Russian баклан) 

Stachowski says, 'Turkic baklan may be a corrupted form of the Greek Pelican'. 


'Pelican is a pre-Greek (not a Greek) word,' says Pre-Greek expert Beekes. 



We are in a dead end street.


Is it an older Turkic word that the Greeks took in dark ages?
