The Book of Dede Qorqut is a corpus of epic stories that provide information about the language, history, administrative and social lifes, battles, beliefs, traditions and many more like that of the Oghuz people who have a nomadic lifestyle. Among the existing manuscripts, the most intense in terms of content is the Dresden manuscript, which contains an introduction and twelve stories. Various studies have been made on the content or the vocabulary of the manuscript. It is seen that idioms with stereotyped phrases are frequently used in the manuscript, which is a very rich resource in terms of vocabulary. In this study, the phrase boy(u)n[ıy]ıla qulaγ[ın] almaq in the second story of the Dresden manuscript with the title Salur Qazanuñ ėvi yaġmalanduġı boy[ı beyān ėder] will be explained with reference to the parallel examples and witnesses existing in the historical texts of Turkish.
