Although some of these suffixes have been systematized and bound to certain rules, the emergence of some suffixes still remains a mystery. Old Uyghur, which is one of the historical periods of the Turkic language, has such an undeciphered suffix. The compound suffix of +DXrtI has been evaluated by some researchers to date; however, no definite conclusion has been reached regarding its origin and function. For this purpose, various structures in Altaic languages will be examined and a connection will be made between this suffix and the 'extraordinary' examples seen in Old Uyghur.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAltaic languagesOld Uyghurcompound suffixfossilized suffixcase suffixes+DXrtIArticle77222724110.1556/062.2023.00372372WOS:001286018200004N/A
