Firdaws
al-Iqbâl,
narrating the history of Khanate of Khiva in PostClassical Chagatai Turkish
language, should not be considered only as a historical text. The author
Shir Muhammad Mirab Mûnis (1778-1829) provides information about many other
topics,
such as organization of the Khanate, ethnicity of people in Khiva, their
languages, their cultures,
agriculture and commerce, geography of the Khanate, important persons of the
time etc. In
this respect, geographical data of the time is also available in the work. This
study deals with the
words aral,
atav, töbek/tübek, which basically mean
“island”, in 156b and 336a sheetes. The words which are dealt with in the study
are presented with their counterparts in the abovementioned sheets
in Firdaws
al-Iqbal,
and with their frequency of use in the sheets
and some sentence samples are also demonstrated. The aim of this study
is to contribute to the studies on vocabulary of
Chagatai Turkish by revealing how often and in which contexts the
words
that are discussed in this study are used in Firdaws
al-Iqbal,
and also to highlight the information and explanations
that the author Mûnis reports regarding the Khiva’s geography and
climate
and how they were termed in Khiva.
