In
a single piece, the Irk Bitig is the only text that has written in the form of
a book in Old Turkic runic alphabet and survives. This book, which was found in
the Halls of the Thousand Buddhas near Tun-huang, consists of various ırks (omens). This omen book contains
short interpretations of 65 ırks and
a colophon. It was written Manichaean “ny” dialect. Namely, the book has Old
Uighur dialect characteristics. It is not known when the Irk Bitig exactly has
written.
The aim of this
article is to examine adverbs and adverbial constructions in the Irk Bitig. Therefore,
the article consists of three main parts. In the first part, I will dwell on
the function of adverbs and adverbials. In the second and third part, I will
investigate their structure and meaning.
