Etymology

Due to the two distinct spellings in the text the exact reading and etymology is uncertain.

There exists two main proposals:

  1. Tekin takes the first spelling as correct and proposes the reading atan ("gelded camel").
  2. Aydın on the other hand takes the second spelling as the right one and reads tań ("colt") whence Turkish tay. This would also make this the only instance of the word being spelled with -ń- as opposed to -y-.
