yar/car = to split. Recall Doerfer Turkic initial *d changing to Turkic c/y.
Recall also that Doerfer says and knows nothing about Sumerian.

irig= hard, coarse, energetic
iri=coarse, hard, thick, large, big, etc

Recall Herodotus "eridanus", and that the "barbarians" call all large
bodies of water "eridanus". Recall
from the previous post that teng, tenger, tengiz have to do with sky,
sea etc. Turkish for 'sea' is deniz.
How did "danu" become an IE word? and where did this happen?

Modern Turkish is "yIrtIk" (torn) , from "yIrt" (to tear). The root is
obviously related to "yar" (to split) as can be seen above. In Turkic the
sound "I" (schwa) comes either from /a/ or /u/.

I have written here and there that protoTurkic for water was *thu
despite the fact that Turkologists
say it was *sub. It might have been *thub, or the -b had some other
function. These sound changes
are the ones I gave earlier e.g. th>t , th>l, th>dh> y etc. They work
across several language
families.

Probably the most famous such inexplicable sound correspondence is
Hittite tabarna and labarna.
It is these changes that show up later as d=l e.g. odor=oleur,
dacruma=lacruma etc etc.

There are about 20 cases of Chuvash l corresponding regularly to Common
Turkic t, which means,
again, that there was th>l and th>t and there are probably more of these
changes within Turkic than
within IE. I found only 3 examples of d=l in IE and gave 2 of them above.
