Abstract

In the Old Turkic period, the East Old Turkic variety produced written records, while the Oguric versions of West Old Turkic left oral sources from which data relevant to a given language state can be extracted. The author provides a historical and areal linguistic overview of Volga Bulgarian words meaning ’seed, grain, kernel’, contemporary correspondences of which used as classifiers in the Volga-Kama region.
