In this paper, some agricultural words will be examined that are usually considered originally Turkic or, in any event, are encountered in Old Turkic texts, but are also present in ancient Greek in very similar forms. It is believed that the comparison of the words, ‘bull’, ‘honey’, ‘apple’ and ‘mow-‘ between Turkic and Greek has not been contemplated before. Are these words loanwords? Which one is the recipient language? In the case of borrowings were they borrowed directly from the other tongue or is there a transmitter language acting as intermediary? Could it be coincidental that both Turkic and Greek share these words with similar form and the same meaning? In the present article, these questions will be investigated to as great an extent as possible.

Abstract

In this paper, some agricultural words will be examined that are usually considered originally Turkic or, in any event, are encountered in Old Turkic texts, but are also present in ancient Greek in very similar forms. It is believed that the comparison of the words, ‘bull’, ‘honey’, ‘apple’ and ‘mow-‘ between Turkic and Greek has not been contemplated before. Are these words loanwords? Which one is the recipient language? In the case of borrowings were they borrowed directly from the other tongue or is there a transmitter language acting as intermediary? Could it be coincidental that both Turkic and Greek share these words with similar form and the same meaning? In the present article, these questions will be investigated to as great an extent as possible.
