Abstract

The proposed article substantiates the possessive thinking of the ancient Turks and explores the category of belonging in various texts of the Old Turkic language, formed by synthetic morphological means, that is, through possessive affixes.

On the empirical material of runic written monuments, the nature of origin and functioning of affixes of belonging in the Old Turkic language is revealed
