Özet
In this paper, three re-readings and re-interpretations are put forward concerning a few lines of the Yenisei inscriptions. (1) Line 3 of the 3rd Elegešt inscription (E-53) is transcribed as kök t(ä)ηr(i)dä bul(ı)t k(ä)ru (a)lk(ı)nur törüm(i)š and understood as “The cloud(s) became visible in the blue sky to disappear over again”. (2) The 10th line of the Abakan inscription (E-48) is transcribed as (ä)rdämi b(a)r üč(ü)n (a)k(ı)nınta: kü tutup: (a)tka t(ä)gm(i)š b(ä)g(i)m: (ä)siz: (ä)r b(a)šı yıta (a)č(ıg)-a and interpreted as “In consequence of his virtue he achieved reputation in his battle. Alas my beg! What a pity! Commander! Alas! Pity!”. (3) The 14th line of the same Abakan inscription (E-48) is transcribed as y(e)ti urı ogl(u)η(u)zka: bükm(ä)d(ü)k: k(a)η(ı)č(ı)m: (a)lp kuščı (a)bčı tüš(ü)rg(ä)k (ä)rt(i)η(i)z tolkı t(a)š(ı)n b(ä)ηkü tik(ä)r m(ä)n yıta and interpreted as “Daddy who passed away without having enough of his seven sons! You were a brave fowler and a hunter! You were the dexterous hunter! I am erecting the massive stone as beηkü (or I am erecting beηkü with the massive stone)”.
