Abstract:

The most comprehensive study to date to determine the vocabulary of Old Anatolian Turkish is undoubtedly the Tarama Sözlüğü. The Tarama Sözlüğü, which was first published in four volumes between 1943-1957, also included many shortcomings in its original form. In the second publication published between 1963-1972, although some corrections were made compared to the first, not all deficiencies could be eliminated. Some of these deficiencies are related to dictionary preparation techniques, and the other part is the inadequacy of the vocabulary included in the Tarama Sözlüğü to reflect the vocabulary of Old Anatolian Turkish. Since 1972, when it took its final form, no additions have been made to the dictionary except for the studies that some researchers have done under the titles such as contributions to the Tarama Sözlüğü or contributions to the vocabulary of Old Anatolian Turkish. The words determined by these studies are not included in the dictionary at present. However, despite all its shortcomings, it is a necessity to deal with the Tarama Sözlüğü, which remains the main reference source for Turkish language studies today. In this article, it is aimed to contribute to the Tarama Sözlüğü by including words that were determined from some historical texts and were either never detected in the Tarama Sözlüğü or were not identified with the meaning suggested by us, even though they are found as per item.
