Corpus of Old Turkic

𐱅-

ät-

Meaning:
to sound, ring; to sing or chirp (of birds); to cry or bellow; to thunder

ät- must be distinguished from et- “to arrange, make”. Its relationship to öt- “to sing, chirp” is disputed: initial ä > ö has not been established as a regular development connecting the two verbs.
