Yurt
Seyitguly Batyrov wrote, “”Yurt” means a country in Turkmen though it probably does have another different meaning in Kazakh and/or Kyrgyz and/or Turkish languages.”
In the west we use the word Yurt when we are really describing an Öy . In Turkmen we should use Öy when we refer to a trellised domed tent.
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.
