| Summary: | Evaluation of language from historical dialects towards contemporary dialects can be
traced through studying the evaluation of specific words and the context conveyed through these
words. This study while relying on this methodology focuses on Old Turkish word yıp and
words bağ, uruk, örgen, urgan, arkan. Those words are scrutinized phonological, morphological,
and semantically. This study primarily focuses on the etymology of words, homophony due to
change of alphabet, semantic contamination, semantic restriction, through different historical
periods. The Old Turkish uruk "rope" has been mixed with the word urug "family, lineage" from
the result of changing alphabet, and then they have become homophonic. There was a conflict
between two different meanings and the word uruk has forgotten in contemporary dialects. Bağ,
urgan, örgen and arkan have gained the meaning "ip" due to semantic extension, and these
words are still used in contemporary Turkish dialects.
