Özet

The Tonyuquq inscription is one of the most studied works since its discovery. The name of the proprietor Tonyuquq and the meaning expressed by this name have been discussed quite extensively. The name is read in two different forms in the form of Tonyuquq and Tunyuquq. The name of Tonyuquq was observed once in the inscription of Bilgä Qagan, and once in the inscription of Küli Çor. The lettering of Tonyuquq as a word is different in Bilgä Qagan and Küli Çor inscriptions and Tonyuquq inscription. The difference is based on whether it is written with the consonant ñ or using the letter n or y. One of the topics covered in the present article is about the scripture of the name of Tonyuquq in the inscription that bears his name and in Bilgä Qagan and Küli Çor inscriptions. Another issue covered in the article is the titles used by Tonyuquq and the meanings of these titles. After discussing the meanings of these titles in the general Turkish language, the subject is elaborated in detail. The article ends with a collection of the sentences where the name Tonyuquq was mentioned.
