PIE-As-versus-Turkish-Ağız

I have written about Latin Mouth "os", meaning mouth.
Look at the link below for further info:

https://uzunbacakadem.blogspot.com/2019/07/latin-os-turkish-agiz.html

I was tracking further and now have the book

Vergleichendes Wörterbuch der Indogermanischen Sprachen;by Fick, August, 1890

in my hand.

Indoeuropean (and Sanscrit) word "âs" means mouth, too. Turkish ağız (read it like German "aus") is very compatible with that. And this, not only in sound but also in meaning. Even more similar than the Latin os.

There are many more examples.
Look at these Turkish dialects:

Kazan Tatar: aus
Sagay: âs
Tuva: aas

Tuvan and Sagay Turkish word "aas" or "âs" is the same word like in Porto Indo European, for the same body part.

And now it gets spectacular=> Hittites had called this part of the face "ais". It is apparently a very long tradition with the name of this important organ.

ordo/slecg-wyrhta/örs/ur/urdu

This time a heavy theme:

Amboss-Anvil-Örs

1. Today I am writing about Hammer and Anvil.
2. Indogerman root ORDO, (URDO?) means hammer. Like you see above, the earlier forms of this word are ORRD, UIRD, G-ORRD, ORD, ORZ,(H)IRD-AN, etc...
3. There is a very interesting Turkish word "ÖRS" meaning anvil. Örs comes from the ancient root OR-/UR- (in today's Turkish VUR-). OR-/UR- is a verb meaning to hit, to knock, to hammer (schlagen, hauen, hammern, klopfen). 
4. When we take the verb(action) OR-/UR-, the words "Hammer and Anvil" become similar to each other: >> with a hammer we knock on anvil, they knock each other. Breton word ORZ (for hammer) is nearly same with the Turkish ÖRS (for anvil). It is possible, that this "verb" is included in IE words "Ordo" and "slecg-wyrhta" (Old English for one who works with a hammer, a worker in metals), maybe "he who hammers"? (Wyrh = vur?)
5. When this workers work is done, you can say in Turkish "o urdu" meaning "he hammered".

PIE-getto-versus-Turkish-göt

Hello and a good friday,

today I want to write about ass; Turkish göt.

I take a look at the book on my desk. It is "the comparative dictionary of Indogerman languages - Word-hoard of Celtic section," by August Fick, 1894.

We see the word getto (no! not ghetto) meaning back, bottom, coccyx, ass; Arsch, Steiss.

Old Irish gett, Old Celtic getto, Irish gead (haunch), all meaning the same -> bottom!

And now the Turkish word GÖT!

Göt means bottom, ass, back, Arsch, Hintern, too!

Göt derived from Ancient Turkish köt (another version -kıç-) for back, ridge and ass. 

Similar? Same? 

I think, the Turks and the Indo-Europeans were longer neighbors than we accept.

UncertainEtymology-calcaneus

Today a blog from the serial: 

The words with uncertain etymology which I found by 

www.etymonline.com

*

calcaneus  is the bone of the heel. According to etymonline.com word origin is not clear (uncertain). It says: perhaps from Etruscan (in my opinion ->  most probably) and it shows us a Bulgarian word "kalka" as a similar word meaning "hip, thigh". 

(please see the screenshot above 
for more info)!

wiktionary says about:

calx (heel): 

"Of uncertain origin, with possibilities including:

• An extension of the Proto-Indo-European root *(s)kel- (“to bend”).
• Etruscan origin
• From Proto-Indo-European *klHk(ᵂ)-(n)-, related to Serbo-Croatian kuk (“thigh, hip”), Bulgarian кълка (kǎlka, “hip”), Russian колк (kolk, “bony stump”), Latviankulksnis (“hock”), Lithuanian kulksnis (“ankle”), Old Prussian culczi (“hip”)"

Ok, so far so good but not complete. 
They have not compared the Turkish language yet.

I do it!

I have an assumption and a suggestion:

There are 2 words in Turkish language that we can compare with calcaneus.

The first one is: kalça: like Bulgarian word "kalka" (see the screenshot above) it means hip, buttock. It is an old kal- meaning to stay (on your hip?) or the organ you need for staying somewhere? 
My grandma said always : "let your buttock smell like earth" (originally "götün yer koksun"), as she wanted to say "stay a while". (Attention: Old Prussian 'culczi' is very similar in sound to kalça)

or 

a second root kalk- meaning to stand up. Maybe you need the heel bone (calcaneus) to stand up. "Kalkan" means in Turkish -> he who stands up. 
Kalkan means an army shild, too. 

calcaneus

Furthermore: compare Greek κάλτσα -> a very long sock and Italian calza -> stocking (Info by Tuncer Gülensoy).

And Spanish calzar -> to wear?

3-A-Words-in-Latin-aComparison-w-Turkish-and-Sumerian

Hello Together,

I have 3 Latin words, beginning with "A" today. There are very interesting similarities in sound and meaning with 3 Turkish words. Look at this:

Latin "adjacens" means 'neighboring' or 'adjoining'; Turkish "yakın" means 'near, not far away'.

Latin "aestus" means 'heat, fire'; Turkish "yaz" means "summer".

Latin "ager" means 'farm, field, soil, terrain' and Turkish "kır" means "mountain, hill, steppe'.

*

A bonus information:

Sumerian Ekur (𒂍𒆳 É.KUR), also known as Duranki, is a Sumerian term meaning "mountain house".(wikipedia). Very similar to Ev-kır => Ev: House (Old versions: üy, ü), kır: Mountain => then Ev-kır would be 1:1 compatible with Sumerian Ekur.

PIE-Karantus-versus-Turkish-Karındaş-aTry

Our book this time is "Vergleichendes Wörterbuch der Indogermanischen Sprachen"; by Fick, August, 1890

Indogerman root karaont- means: the loving one, devoted one, friend. 

As we can see on the pic above Gallic words Karantus, Karantillas, etc.; Welsh (Cymraeg) ceraint, cerynt, carant carantauc; Cornisch kerens sound like -Turkish- Karın-daş. 

Karındaş means simply brother, sister, sibling (German Geschwister).

*
And the next similar word on our pic:

The root Karate-s, Karatako-s means amiable, lovable.

In Turkish there's a very similar word, a version of Karındaş called Kardaş (older), Kardeş (actual). Gaulish Caratus, Irish Carthach, Welsch Caratauc, Breton Karadoc  , NewBreton Caradec are all 100 % compatible with Turkish Kardaş, as we can see on our pic above.

*

And now to our Turkish words and their meanings:

Both Karındaş and Kardaş have the same root (acc. to Nisanyan and Eyuboglu) => Karın meaning the belly, womb (German Bauch). Karındaş and Kardaş are the ones who are born from the same belly. 

In Turkey (nowadays and in ancient times) we call good friends always as Karındaş, Kardaş, Kardeş, all different versions of sibling (Geschwister). 


These both words Karındaş and Kardaş are related to each other or a version of each other.

UncertainEtymology-Oat

Hallo, Hello, Merhaba!

Today is All Hallow' Day and is a religious public holiday in my homeland Bavaria.
It is raining and that's why a good day to star a new series called:

The words with uncertain etymology which I found by www.etymonline.com

The first word is 'oat', a well-known grassy plant.
I suggest Turkish 'ot' (old version of Uygur Turks 'oot') as word root.
Ot means simply and fast 'grass'.

'OT' and more the older version 'oot' are a 100 percent compatible in meaning and form with English 'oat'.

What do you mean?

MaterialCulture-MilitaryCorps-Ulan-Uhlan-Oglan

Preußischer Ulan vom 15. Ulanen-Regiment um 1900

Hello,

we begin with wikipedia:

"Uhlans (/ˈuːlɑːn, ˈjuːlən/; Polish: Ułan; German: Ulan ; Lithuanian: Ulonas) were Polish-Lithuanian light cavalry armed with lances, sabres and pistols. The Polish-Lithuanian Uhlans became the model for many general-purpose cavalry units throughout Europe in the early 19th century as use of traditional heavy cavalry declined. The title was later used by lancerregiments in the Russian, Prussian, Saxon, Austrian and other armies.^[a]"

Uhlan (German Ulan, Polish ułani) was derived from the Turkish word "oğlan" that means simply "the boy" or further meaning "a young man, a young warrior".

These were light cavalry in many European armies. Golden Horde Tatars have brought their Cavalry Notion and the culture, belonging to this, to Europe. They were the special forces with "their (own) military vocabulary and many of their traditions, along with their strategy and tactics."(wikipedia). 

I didn't know the name if these boys and their identity till now. Maybe you, either. 

That's why this thread!

There are many similar words to uhlan/ulan/oğlan in many languages:

Clan: Etruscan for son 
Clann: Scottish for son
Okle of Dam-okle-s: (my thesis) means "the boy"
Lan/len: Turkish slang word for boy/indirectly friend (further versions: üleyn, leyn)
