Ersary (not Ersari) - not sure whether it
must be A or E (first letter). What letter in
this word would you use for the sound that
corresponds to the letter "a" as in
cat, track, etc.? But certainly Y at the end, not
I. JBOC - I was going to go with Ersary as the
spelling but Arsary seems a little closer. Arsary
and Azeri are two branches of the Oguz Seljuk
line.
This page is part of a cooperative project
with Seyitguly Batyrov of Turkmen
Carpets Online to give a proper spelling of
common Turkmen terms used in describing rugs.
