Turkish
Etymology
Inherited from Ottoman Turkish قول (kul, “male slave, servant”), from Old Anatolian Turkish قل (qul), from Proto-Turkic *kul (“slave, servant”).[1] Cognate to Old Turkic 𐰴𐰆𐰞 (qul, “slave”), Karakhanid قُلْ (qul, “slave”), Kazakh құл (qūl), Khakas хул (xul).
Pronunciation
Noun
kul (definite accusative kulu, plural kullar)
- slave (sense as a noun mostly archaic, except "kul köle" and similar idioms - even figuratively, where "köle" is commoner. An exception is the verb form "kulluk yapmak, "to serve" in pejorative sense)
- servant
- position of man according to God (No equivalent, even in "servant" of the lord this sense is preserved. In this context "mortal" sense in vernacular is understood, versus an "immortal god")
