- Abstract
The first Turkic sources on horse subject in Turks are naturally the old Turkic inscriptions with Turkic runic letters. Although the word horse and many derivatives have been identified in these inscriptions, the text that mainly deals with horses is undoubtedly the Köl Tegin inscription. This name, which is identified in the 40th line of the eastern face and the 2nd, 2nd and 3rd line of the north face of the Köl Tegin inscription, whose text we know was created and erected by his brother Bilge Kağan, and read in various forms such as šalcı, šalci, šalčı, šalči, by some, the owner of the horse, some of them the horse. It was evaluated as the name. In the first parts of this article, it is mentioned how the word, which is mentioned four times, is read and interpreted by those who work on the inscription, and then it is compared with the form in which the word is mentioned in the important sources of Middle Mongolian, The Secret History of the Mongols and the Defter-i Čingiz-nama. Turkic sal was established with 'raft' and the suffix +çI, which makes a name from the noun, and it has been suggested that it can mean 'raft maker or raftman'. The forms of the word in Mongolian and Turkish texts are also emphasized. In the evaluation part of the article, it is stated that the Turkish word salčı can be a place in the western parts of Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, and therefore, on the basis of the Köl Tegin inscription, the Turks living in the steppe ride and attack the horses of that region while traveling to distant lands. It has been suggested that the horses of the region, not the short-stature horses in Mongolia, may have been ridden, and therefore the Turkish word salčı may have been a place name when sailing to the regions of thousands of kilometers, at least by giving horses on the north and west cruises.
