Özet:

Words that form the vocabulary of a language may be subject to many new meanings or even word deaths over time due to new needs, different events, situations encountered, the effect of one language or one word on another, and so on. This is a situation that every language goes through in history. In this sense, the vocabulary of a language is similar to a large puzzle in which the field discharged by one part is filled by another. In this study, the changes of the meanings of the verbs play- and diameter- which had close-meanings- over time, which are not very common in the Old Turkish texts, the new meanings they have gained and the common use of them is discussed by the relationship between the dialects is taken into consideration. The two verbs mentioned have a close-meaning also with the verb ur-, which has been used relatively more frequently since the oldest periods. The verbs play- and diameter, in history of Turkish Language, offer a view that approach to each other or leave from each other view from time to time. For example, while the verb play- was originally used mostly as "to hit" today in the basic sense that we can know in the form of yėrke play-, with the 14th century and beyond it appears as "to play musical instriument" and "to steal". The verb diameter- is onomatopoeic verb which is less used more than the verb play-, appears in The Verbe and in later periods with different meanings.
