eşgürti
Meaning:
a kind of Chinese embroidered silk brocade
The historical form is uncertain: the Orkhon inscriptions have eşgüti, while Uyghur sources commonly have eşgirti. An earlier form eşgürti is possible; its r may have been weakly pronounced and sometimes omitted. In Kāšġarī’s dictionary (I, 145), the entry is placed under the pattern faʿlūli, which suggests eşgürti, but the manuscript actually writes eşgürtı. Its gloss is “embroidered Chinese silk brocade.”

PU ?F éşgü:ti: ‘a kind of Chinese embroidered silk brocade’. There is some difficulty about the actual form of this word, of which the -g- is fixed by the Türkü spelling. The best evidence should be in Kaş. where it appears under the heading fa‘lūli; the form to be expected is éşgürti:, but the MS. actually has éşgürtı:. The word is fairly common in Uyğ. Bud. and Civ. and is there consistently spelt éşgirti with minor variations of vocalization. The conclusion seems to be that it is a l.-w. of which the original form was éşgürti: but that the -r- was not clearly pronounced and was sometimes omitted. For the earlier misunderstanding of this word in II N 11 see E ekinlig. N.o.a.b. Cf. barçın.
