tün (d-) ‘night’; in some modern languages additionally or alternatively ‘yesterday’. Tün ortu:sı: properly means ‘midnight’, and is often so used, but in the earliest period was also used as a cardinal point ‘north’. S.i.a.m.l.; in NE Tuv. dün ‘night’; dü:n (?crasis of dünen) ‘yesterday’; in SW Az. dünen; Osm. dün; Tkm. düyn all meaning ‘yesterday’. Tünle: ‘at night’, which is more likely to be an abbreviated Ger. of *tünle:- than a crasis of tün birle, occurs from an early period. Cf. 3 keçe:.
