Abstract

We learn the words belonging to the language of Xiongnus (Asian Huns) through the works written by the Chinese who developed political, military and economic relations with this community. In this study, one Hunnic word carrying the meaning of spoon, remained unexplained until now, will be explained on the base of the sound passings peculiar to Turkic.
