  • Marcel Erdal (2004) A Grammar of Old Turkic p. p. 73
    Above, we had seen that turña ‘crane’ became turya in Uygur, as still today in Tuvan; in Qarakhanid this bird name as well became turna (DLT fol.550 and QB 74 and 5377), as in Oguz, Kipchak and South-Eastern Turkic.
  • Marcel Erdal (2004) A Grammar of Old Turkic p. p. 71 n. 119
    119 I do not think the spelling with ÑY in the IrkB indicates a pronunciation placing Ñ and Y into separate syllables: There are in that text many instances of a double sign being redundantly accompanied by a simple one, e.g. Türk getting spelled with the character for rounded front vowels followed by ʷk. turñya is probably just to be read as turña (or possibly as turuña in view of some modern forms).
  • Marcel Erdal (2004) A Grammar of Old Turkic p. p. 71
    In Old Turkic written with other alphabets, */ñ/ in most texts becomes y. turña ‘crane’, e.g., appears as turya in TT VIII P 29; Zieme’s correct interpretation of this is quoted in Maue 2002: 83 (footn. 43).
