𐰏-

Ă€g-, ÀƋ-

Meaning:
to bend
Details:
Used primarily of bending something physically, and at times, with “head” or “neck” understood, of bowing. The two spellings Ă€g- and ÀƋ- are generally treated as different realizations of the same root, though the original form is debated. Many scholars reconstruct Proto-Turkic eg-, while an alternative reconstruction eƋ- has also been proposed; according to RĂłna-Tas, eƋ- is not merely a variant, but the older form, and both go back to an earlier ÀƋ?-.

Synonyms:
𐰋𐰇𐰝 [bĂŒ:k]

A syn. word eg-, included here, occurs so sporadically that it is not clear whether it is a Sec. f. of eg- or an independent word, but, the Caus. f. eğit-, so spelt in TT VIII, makes it clear that the occurrences in Uyğ. are intended to represent eg- and not, as might otherwise have been supposed e:g-.
