TY - JOUR TT - A Poor Haystack (Loda) Etymology Between Scholarship and Imagination, An Answer to My Young Colleague Ekrem Gül AU - Bläsing, Uwe PY - 2017 DA - December DO - 10.26561/iutded.369175 JF - Journal of Turkish Language and Literature PB - Istanbul University WT - DergiPark SN - 1015-2091 SP - 65 EP - 80 VL - 57 IS - 57 KW - Loda KW - etimoloji KW - saman yığını KW - eleştiri KW - bilimsel metot KW - bilimsel metot N2 - The article “Loda Sözcüğü Üzerine” (“On the Term Loda”) written by Ekrem Gül and published in the twenty-fifth volume of the journal Türk Dilleri Araştırmaları (Studies in Turkish Languages) is quite intriguing. In particular, the publication of this article almost simultaneously with the paper on the term “loda” by the author of this review is meaningful. On the following pages, the article penned by Ekrem Gül dealing with the origin of “loda” will be scrutinized under several aspects with a special focus on the thesis that have been put forward. Aim of this review is to reveal and correct, based on scholarly methods, the most significant shortcomings of Gül‘s etymological attempt concerning the historical roots of “loda”.
