Hi all,
I was wondering about a coupla (I'm assuming) Turkic words in the Aqyn's
song, and where I could find out more:
Dzambul and Qorqyt -- these sound like deity names, presumably Dzambul
is the patron saint of aqyns and Qorqyt is the main deity?
dombra and qobyz -- these sound like instrument names; does anyone know
what they look or sound like?
Syrghaj -- is this the name of an actual forest?
dzurt -- hut?
I'd be deeply gratified if anyone on the list could point me to sources
of info in these regards.
