标题：WERE THE ACCUSATIVE CASE SUFFIX USED AFTER THE THIRD PERSON POSSESSIVE SUFFIX IN THE ORKHON INSCRIPTIONS? / ORHUN ABİDELERİNDE 3. KİŞİ İYELİK EKİNDEN SONRA YÜKLEME HÂLİ EKİ KULLANILDI MI?
摘要：One of the disputatious subjects about Turkish language is the structure of the third person possessive suffix and the usage of the words which take that suffix in the accusative case. In the historical texts, using of the different forms for the accusative case is one of the facts that make the problem difficult to solve. In this article, we firstly separated the approaches about the usage of the words with the third person possessive suffix in the accusative case into two groups: 1. Possessive suffix (+sI / + I) + Accusative case suffix (+n) 2. Possessive suffix [+(s) I (n)] + Accusative case (0). Secondly, we tried to establish the forms of the words with the third person possessive suffix in the accusative case in the Orkhon Inscriptions, by considering the verb ölür- “to kill”. We determined that all objects, which were used with the verb ölür- and which take the third person possessive suffix, end with the sound “n”. Finally, we explained the subject theoretically by accepting the third person possessive suffix as +(s) I (n).
