ağıt

== Turkish == === Etymology === From Ottoman Turkish آغیت (ağıt). Further origin is disputed. Perhaps a derivative of Proto-Turkic *yï̄g (“interjection of sorrow and sadness”). If so, likely Proto-Turkic *yï̄g (interjection of sorrow and sadness) +‎ *-a +‎ *-ut. Compare ağlamak (“to cry, to weep”), from Proto-Turkic *yï̄gla-, from *yï̄g +‎ *-la. Alternatively, possibly from Armenian; compare Armenian աղատ (aġat, “supplication”), Middle Armenian աղատել (aġatel, “to lament”), Old Armenian աղէտ (ałēt, “pity; grief; calamity”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ɑˈɯt] Hyphenation: a‧ğıt === Noun === ağıt (definite accusative ağıdı, plural ağıtlar) elegy, requiem Synonyms: mersiye, sagu bir rüya için ağıt ― requiem for a dream ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === References === Çağbayır, Yaşar (2007), “ağıt”, in Ötüken Türkçe Sözlük (in Turkish), volume I, Istanbul: Ötüken Neşriyat, page 138b Nişanyan, Sevan (2002–), “ağıt”, in Nişanyan Sözlük, retrieved 13 January 2022, tentatively deriving from Old Armenian աղէտ (ałēt) Tietze, Andreas (2002), “ağıd/ağıt”, in Tarihi ve Etimolojik Türkiye Türkçesi Lügati [Historical and Etymological Dictionary of Turkish] (in Turkish), volume I, Istanbul, Vienna: Simurg Kitapçılık, Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, page 110b Stachowski, Marek (2019), “ağıt”, in Kurzgefaßtes etymologisches Wörterbuch der türkischen Sprache (in German), Kraków: Księgarnia Akademicka, →DOI, page 55a
