Özet:

The verb “tulla-” (to throw, to throw) and its derivatives, which continue to exist in the eastern dialects of Turkey Turkish and Azerbaijani Turkish, are not found in any other contemporary Turkish dialect. It is clear that the word is formed by adding the verb form suffix {+la-} to the noun root "tul". Among the contemporary Turkish dialects, only Chuvash has the word "tul" meaning "outside". In this case, it can be seen as the first possibility that this word entered the language during the period when the Khazar/Bulgarian Turks, who are representatives of /r~l/ Turkish, were in the Azerbaijan-Anatolia geography. Examples of rhotacism and lambdacism found in both Azerbaijani Turkish and Turkey Turkish eastern dialects support this possibility. The data we have identified in languages belonging to the Altai Language Family make another probability possible: There is a word used in the Tungus-Manchu dialects in the sense of "outside, external face", which is constructed by the authors as its Proto-Tungus root "*t'uli". With the change of /l>ş/, the equivalent of this word is used in historical and contemporary Turkish dialects as “side/direction”. It also brings to mind the possibility that it may be "tuş" ("*dul" in Proto-Turkish) meaning "opposite side" and that it was brought by the clan(s) who settled in Azerbaijan and Eastern Anatolia long before the Khazar/Bulgarian Turks.
