Tuñuquq inscriptions have been re-examined by numerous researchers, analysed from various perspectives, and subjected to diverse interpretations. However, some phrases in the inscriptions, particularly those with contextual complexities, continue to be subjects of debate. One such contentious phrase is 𐰃𐰞𐰍𐰣𐰽 tüšürt(ü)m(ü)z in line 27 of the Tuñuquq inscriptions. The phrase has led to differing views among researchers in terms of its meaning and reading. Three main interpretations have been proposed for this phrase, each with different philological arguments. The article presents a new interpretation of the phrase 𐰃𐰞𐰍𐰣𐰽 tüšürt(ü)m(ü)z. Our new proposal is developed by considering both philological and historical contexts and is evaluated within the overall integrity of the inscriptions.
