The Reflexes of *qɵɖɵɽ͡ɖ(-) Holophrasis in Old Turkic and Modern Turkic Dialects
Abstract
This study examines the phonetic, phonological, morphological, and semantic evolution of the reconstructed Proto-Altaic holophrasis *qɵɖɵɽ͡ɖ(-), semantically contextualized as “to dry, to scorch; the state of being dry.” The research primarily focuses on the development of this structure within Turkic varieties, tracing its derivatives across historical and contemporary dialects. Utilizing phoneme theory and historical-comparative methodology, the study integrates Altaic and Nostratic perspectives to uncover deeper etymological links. Through phonemic splitting tables and structural analyses, the relationships between variations in surface structure and their shared roots are clarified. While Turkic dialects remain the central focus, comparative examples from other Nostratic languages provide additional insights into the shared linguistic heritage. Despite the inherent challenges of reconstruction-based linguistics, this study underscores the value of systematic analysis in elucidating complex linguistic patterns. It seeks to contribute to the understanding and development of the linguistic phylogeny of the Altaic language family, which includes Turkic dialects.
