baz

Meaning:
peaceful, reconciled; submissive; peace

With qıl- “make”, the adjective expresses pacifying or subjugating a people. Kashgari glosses it “stranger, foreigner” and illustrates it in yāt baz. Whether this foreignness belongs to baz alone or to the paired expression remains uncertain; a reading “friendly foreigner” has also been proposed.
