Suggestions about Some Words in Yenisey
Inscriptions
Serkan ŞEMEN
Istanbul University, Turkey
Yenisey inscriptions written in Runic letter or Gokturk script have a crucial
importance not only for the history of Turkish language, but also for Turkish
culture. Several researches on Yenisey inscriptions have been made until today
since the discovery of these inscriptions. Researchers have suggested new
readings and interpretations on the first reading of Yenisey inscriptions. While
some of these suggestions corrected the mistakes in previous publications, other
suggestions resulted in false pronunciation of the words which were formerly
pronounced correctly.
In this study, new readings and interpretations about some words on the Yenisey
inscriptions are suggested. The aim of this study is to investigate manuscripts
profoundly and to state their significance in Turkish language and culture.
Key Words: Yenisey inscriptions, runic, Göktürk script, transcription
