Crimea-Karkinitsa-Bay-and-Its-Turkic-Name-Karkin

CRIMEA PENINSULA AND KARKINITSA BAY (*LEFT ABOVE*)

 

Pliny the Elder wrote about the Bay of Carcinites. There is also a river and a city with this name on Crimea. 

It is a perfect Turkic name for a hydronym. It means overflowing, overflown, excessive water. 

There is also a famous Turkic tribe called Karkın.

Karkın Tribe in German wiki:

Wiki über Karkin Stamm der Türken

The word itself has a Proto-Turkic root!

*

-(ı)t: plural suffix

There are other toponyms/hydronyms about this area by Pliny such as:

Pliny wrote a sentence or two on this subjects he wrote about the bay of Karkinites:

He said there is the Pacyris River < BAKIR? (COPPER in Turkic) (for its red color?)

Lake Buces < BÜK? (coastal, corner, thicket in Turkic)

*

There are so many toponyms and hydronym with Turkic etymology in Steppe area and the scholars are still telling that the Scythians were Indo-Europeans...

*

I can say: No 

There were surely Turkic peoples among them, 

a 100 %.
