Notes on Some Words Recorded as Oghuz in Divânu Lugâti't-Turk

D & icirc;v & acirc;nu Lug & acirc;ti't-T & uuml;rk (DLT) is the very first work that provides information about Turkish dialects. The information given in the work concerning the dialects of that era and their distinctive features hold immeasurable value for the field of Turkish language studies. Besides the Hakaniye dialect, which was the literary language at that time, DLT comprises various information about several Turkish dialects. More than half of the records concerning dialects other than Hakaniye are about Oghuz dialect. Kasgarli often compared the Karakhanid written language with the Oghuz dialect. It isquite understandable to find more information about the Oghuz Turks' dialect than other dialects in DLT because the Seljuk State that managed to become the most powerful state in the Turkish-Islamic geography from the second half of the 11th century onward was the state of the Oghuzs. The vocabulary of the Oghuz dialect presented by Kasgarli in the DLT overlaps substantially with the modern Oghuz dialects. This research focuses on the words a & eng;, etrek, keri & scedil;, k & ouml;n & ccedil;ek, s & ouml;r & ccedil;ek, and yor & imath;g & ccedil;& imath;, all of which are recorded in DLT as Oghuz.
