𐰇𐰔𐰇𐰝
üzük
Meaning:
torn, severed; torn-off piece
üzük in this word family denotes what is torn, severed or interrupted. In Irk Bitig 48, üzükiŋin ulayur män refers to joining the addressee’s severed or torn parts again, which securely establishes the concrete sense “torn/severed part”. In Old Uyghur texts, üzük ~ üzök also denotes an end or interruption, a torn thing and, by abstraction from cutting off or bringing something to an end, a decision or rejection.
Word family
Formed from 𐰇𐰔- [üz-] “to tear, sever, pull apart; to break or cut off” using -(u)k⁴.

D üzük Pass. N./A.S. fr. üz-; ‘broken, torn off’, and the like. It is not clear whether the entry in Kaş. is correctly placed here, or whether it should be transcribed özök and regarded as a Sec. f. of 2 özek. In a number of medieval and modern languages üzük is a Sec. f. of yüzük, q.v., and the word in Çağ. relating to a tent may belong there. Türkü viii ff. IrkB 48 (ula:-): (Uyğ. see üzüksüz): Xak. xi üzük kull mā istancala mina’l-arḍ wa ṣāra ḥiyāḍ ‘any piece of ground which is swampy and becomes waterlogged’; and any ‘branch of a valley’ (xalīc mina’l-awdiya) is called üzük su:v Kaş. I 71: (xiv Rbğ. (some of their statements are) üzük ‘abbreviated’ R I 1896, but the older B.M. MS., 2v. 16, has kesük, same meaning): Çağ. xv ff. üzük (‘with -k’) xargāh asbābi . . . wa xātim ‘components of a tent . . . (and finger-ring)’ Vel. 106 (see above); üzük ((1) anguštar ‘finger-ring’ (quotn.)); (2) namd-i rū-yi alāçuq ‘the felt covering of a tent’; (3) pāra wa gusīxta ‘piece, fragment; broken, torn’ San. 74r. 8.
