Abstract :We don’t have much information about the language of Asian Huns who played one of the most important roles in both Turkic and world history and occupy a remerkable place in Asian history. On the other hand, we have been familiar with all existing data pertaining to their language thanks to Chinese annals. Chinese annals mention some words which belong to their language. One part of those words constitutes the captions belonging to Hunnic ruling class. One of those captions is Ku-t’u’ meaning “son” which is given by the Huns for their rulers. The mentioned caption has been tried to be explained with different meanings. Some researchers evaluate the true meaning of this caption as “son”and link this with the words which match up with it semantically and phonetically while others aim at clarifying it with the namings which are evocative of the meaning of majesty. In this paper it will be shown that the mentioned caption is related to a belief system belonging to Turks and Mongols. The main topic of this paper revolves around explanation of the mentioned caption on the base of a belief in Turks and Mongols.
Keywords : Hunca, Türkçe, Moğolca, Ku tu
