Abstract

Remarks on the name of the Carians

Abstract

Kr̥ka-, the Old Persian name for the Carians, has nothing to do with Kar(a)kiša and Karkiya, countries mentioned in Hittite sources. The meaning of Old Persian *kr̥ka- is ‘rooster’, and the Carians were called so because of the crest on their helmets (Plutarch), but probably also because of their similar name, attested without -ka- in other languages.

Karyalıların İsimlerine Dair Notlar

Abstract

Karyalılar için kullanılmış olan Eski Pers ismi Kr̥ka’nın
Hitit kaynaklarında bahsedilen Kar(a)kiša ve Karkiya ülkeleri ile hiçbir
ilgisi yoktur. Eski Persçe olan *kr̥ka “horoz” anlamına gelmektedir.
Karyalılar miğferlerinde bulunan sorguçtan dolayı (Ploutarkhos), ama
belki de farklı dillerde belgelenen ve -ka- kısmı olmayan benzer isimleri
dolayısıyla böyle adlandırılmaktaydı.

Keywords
