Özet:

One of the methods developed by Turkish to find a name for the unlimited existence in the outside world by using the limited material it contains is to borrow words from other languages. The Turkic language has adapted some borrowed words to its own meaning and structure system. One such words is the Sanskrit name kolu. The name kolu was borrowed by the Old Uyghur intellectual in order to convey the religious terminology to the reader. However, later on, this name both took on a very meaningful structure and added depth to the expression through metaphor, and was used to derive new words by adding constructive suffixes. This situation reveals the technical capacity of the Turkish language at that time and its power to localize borrowed words. This situation also explains that the Old Uyghur Turkish yields do not have a translation quality from the source works, but were adapted to the Turkish language by the Turkish writers of the period. In this study, we examined the name kolu and words kolula-, kolulug and kolusuz, which are thought to be derived from the name kolu, in all aspects, structurally and semantically, with the guidance of abundant examples from the vocabulary of Old Turkic. In this way, we tried to clarify the name kolu and derived forms from the name kolu, which have uncertainties and deficiencies in the world of structure and meaning.
