There are some conflicts about the Common Turkic word which means “help, aid”. This
word is used in Nog. yardam; in Tat. yardem ~ yerdem; in Bşk. yarźam; in Özb. yårdam; in
Uyg. yardem; in Tü., Gag., Az., Kmk. yardım; in Kırg. cardam and in Kzk., Kklp. jèrdem. In
this paper, we suggested that the Turkish word yardım (< yardam) is comes from yarı, the word
which was known since the Karakhanid period. Besides, we examined the semantic relationships
between “help” and “half” notions in Turkic and other languages.
