2 idi: Intensifying Adv., originally used only to qualify Neg. verbs and expressions, meaning (not) ‘at all’ and the like; later more generally to qualify any Adj., meaning ‘very, extremely’. Not noted later than Xak. unless NC Kir. indi ‘very’, e.g. indi kara ‘pitch black’ is a reminiscence. Replaced in the West in the medieval period by iŋen (possibly an Old Oğuz word) as shown below. This, too, is now obsolete. Türkü viii (I campaigned in all kinds of country).
