hi guys, i have this data:
there is this word "dag/dagh" = mountain in turkish languages. see
Dagestan = mountain country, Nemrut Dagi in Cappadocia, and Kopet Dag
in Turkmenistan.
there was a Hittite sacred mountain Daha, where city Zippalanda was
built.
does anyone know the etymology of the word "dag" ?
pls point me to a turkish etymology dictionary at least
thx
