Ancient-Macedonian-months-name-Gorpiaios-vs-Turkic-Koerpe-Ay

 

Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft



*


*

English translation:

Eleventh month of the ancient national lunar year of the Macedonians, beginning with the autumn equinox, corresponding to the Athenian Metageitnion (Julian July/August). It is found partly in Macedonia itself, for example in a letter from King Philip V to the Larisaians in 214 BC, Athen, and partly in the documents of the states that emerged from the empire of Alexander, even in the Roman-oriental solar year up to the Byzantine period. Whether the month also occurs on Cyprus depends on the reading of the Athens inscription. 

*

Shortly: Gorpiaios is the Ancient Macedonian name of a month, beginning on the 22th of September; that means in our modern times September/October. 

*

Its name is not explained, adds M. Pauly later.

*

Now my turn:

Türkish adjective/nomen "körpe" means late fruit/crop, product that appears after its season has passed and "ay" means simply "the month". This Macedonian month is a 100 % compatible with the Türkish Körpe-Ay in form and meaning.

Still coincidence Indo-Europeanists?


*

Türkçe çevirisi:

Eski Makedonyalıların antik ulusal ay yılının on birinci ayı, sonbahar ekinoksuyla başlar ve Atina Metageitnion'una (Julian Temmuz/Ağustos) karşılık gelir. Kısmen Makedonya'nın kendisinde, örneğin MÖ 214'te Kral Philip V'in Larisalılara yazdığı bir mektupta, Atina'da ve kısmen de İskender imparatorluğundan çıkan devletlerin belgelerinde, hatta Bizans dönemine kadar Roma-doğu güneş yılında bulunur. Ayın Kıbrıs'ta da bulunup bulunmadığı Atina yazıtının okunuşuna bağlıdır.....

*

Kısaca diyeyim: 

Gorpiaios 22 Eylül'de başlayan bir ayın Antik Makedonca adıdır; bu, modern zamanlarımızda Eylül/Ekim'e denk gelir.

*

Adının kökeninin açıklanmadığını daha sonra M. Pauly de ekler.

*

Şimdi sıra bende:

Türkçe sıfat/ad "körpe" geç mahsul, mevsimi geçtikten sonra ortaya çıkan ürün anlamına gelir, "ay" sözcüğünü de açıklamama gerek yok sanırım. 

Bu Antik Makedon ayı, biçim ve anlam olarak Türkçe Körpe-Ay (Geç-Ürün Ayı) ile %100 uyumludur.


Hala tesadüf mü diyelim, Hint-Avrupacılar?

Roman-Gens-Tuticia-versus-Turkic-Tutik

 

Source: wiki

There was an obscure plebeian family of imperial times at ancient Rome called Tuticius. 

Wiki is the one and only source where we can find a bit information:

"The nomen Tuticius belongs to a class of gentilicia originally formed from cognomina ending in -ex and -icis. As these became widespread, -icius came to be regarded as a regular gentile-forming suffix, which was used to form gentilicia from other nomina. Tuticius might have been formed in this manner from the existing nomen Tutius, an Oscan or Latin name perhaps derived from the Oscan word touto, a people, or Latin tutus, "safe"."


Wiki tells something about the name and possible origin. 

But it is not sure about that. 

The members of this family lived in the first centuries 

after Jesus. There are many stones where we can read 

their name. 

(See below the links at the end!)

*

My turn: 

I have shown that many Roman families 

could have had Türk origin like Gens OtaciliaGens Ogulnii

Gens HortensiiGens TurciusGens Turullius....


I have an etymological proposal about the name Tuticius, too.

Tutık/Tutug means in Old Türkic the slave, derived from the verb tut-, meaning the catch ,to hunt, to keep. 

There are many Tutık/Tutug in the Türk history like: 

Shad Tutık of the Türk Kimek tribe, Tay Bilge Tutuk, Çiğil Tutuk on the Orkhun Stones, Kuşı Tutık the opponent of Kül Tigin, and others..

*

Possible scenario: The family member came to Rome as slaves and worked their way up. Like Mamluke Türks who came to Egypt and India as slaves and became even rulers of those lands.


Possible?

Why not?

*

At least I have something more concrete in my hand, don't I?

Pauly says: Das Wort (Daïx (Gen. Δάϊκος)) ist hunnisch-türkisch: jajygh (aus jatygh) ‚ausgebreitet‘ von jat-, jaj- ‚sich ausbreiten‘; dem Anlaut j legt sich im Türkischen gern ein unorganisches dan, daher die echte Aussprache Djajygh. Die aus Innerasien ausgezogenen Chunoi (s. d.) erscheinen im Pinax des Ptolemaios bis an den Borysthenes gerückt.

Epona (Epana)

Er>

Eris is a limping, ugly and a small woman! have a proposal for the etymology: Erez is a Turkish word containing er (the man) and erez/eres could mean a woman who behaves like a  man. There are other Türkish words like erselik/erselek: hermaphrodite, maybe a nympho, ersek: a man-woman (boyish, German burschikos), ersinmek: showing himself/herself like a brave man...all with the Türkish root er: man. ersek with the meaning nympho could be the key to our explanation.
