𐱃𐰆𐰖-

tuy-

Meaning:
to notice, perceive, become aware of

In line 38 of the Tunyukuk inscription, tuymadı has received different interpretations: Clauson translates it as “they did not notice us”, whereas Tekin understands “they did not feel the difficulty” of the journey. The difference depends on how the preceding kelmişi alp tedi is understood.
