Kutadgu Bilig is one of the most significant works in the history of Islamic Turkish civilization. Although it has been examined numerous times until today, there are still some aspect in the work that are not noticed and investigated. This article focuses on a postposition namedtuşı (tuş+ı). It is used 22 times as a postposition in the book. Tuşıis shown under tuş dictionary entry in the index prepared for this book. As a result of that, this postposition is not detected till today. It is produced by adding third singular possessive suffix to word tuş. Its possessive suffix played an important role during the word s grammat- icalization. Tuşı means as , until , for if it comes after nominative suffixes. It means against , in return if it is used after dative suffix- es. Examples are seen at Karakhanid period works, which is not men- tioned in studies yet. The only study that mentions this postposition is entitled Türk Dillerinde Sontakılar that belongs to Yong-Sōng Li. However, Li s study has left many gaps that do not cover all the features of the postposition.
