Since this is still going around, I decided to try
making some corrections and offer some alternates,
replacements or what I thought to be better matches
myself...
But first I would like to make a point about the
above comments... The first word list had alrady
indicated "s^olpan" as "Kyrgyz Turk", what is the
point in reiterating it as "qIrgIz vs. old turkish"?
"Turkish" examples in the original list inluded
words from Anatolian Turkish, Old Turkish, Kirgiz
Turkish, Osmanli Turkish, Saka Turkish, Uygur Turkish,
Sakha Turkish, Teleut Turkish... Thus it was clear
that those examples represented the Turkish branch
(what came to be called Turkic branch) of Altaic
languages...
The original writer must have felt a certain need
to put the word "Turk" next to "Kyrgyz", in order
to keep it clear to the ones who may not know it,
that "Kirgiz" is a Turkish/Turkic language...
What exactly is your purpose to say "s^olpan is
qIrgIz, but old turkish has c^olpan"...? Are you
trying to drive the wedge (which seems to have been
intentionally created by the usage of the word
"Turkic" instead of "Turkish") deeper between Kirgiz
and other Turkish/Turkic languages...?
Anyway, since I don't know the other languages in
the list and wanted to keep this posting fron getting
too long, I limited my comments to similarities
between Sumerian and Turkish only... I would welcome
and appreciate any comments or corrections to mine...
