Kırgız Kültüründe Kut Kavramının Özellikleri
Journal Title: Türk Dünyası Dil ve Edebiyat Dergisi - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 47
Abstract
According to the research carried out on the basis of the etymological dictionaries, the word Kut, which has existed in all historical and modern Turkic dialects since the oldest periods of Turkish, has a lot of meaning that changes depending on the period and dialect. In the Kyrgyz culture, we found that the concept of kut ‘happiness’ consists of aspects of the abstract-concrete, external and internal world. The abstract plane consists of such concepts as “god” and “luck”, which are associated with the perception of people of the outside world and such as “soul”, “spirit”, “heart”, “life energy”, which are associated with the perception of their inner world. We found that a specific plane consists of tangible objects, such as “talisman”, “idol”. The word kut in the general Turkic language contains the traces of the ancient Türkic faith and carries in itself as an abstract plane expressing «luck», «will», «happiness», which people believe they receive from God, and the expression of a concrete plan, as a guardian, which in reality, is no longer used in everyday life as an instrument of protection against the evil eye because of the influence of Islamic beliefs. It became clear that the amulet, which until recently existed among the Kyrgyz but whose specimens are found today only among the Siberian people, and made of blue or red cloth, symbolizes the Yağız Yer and Kök Teñri existing in the old Turkic beliefs. As in other Turkic people, it can be seen that the word kut is used both in the names of boys and girls, because it expresses a positive meaning in the language.
