Absztrakt

The aim of this paper is to give a possible etymology of the Old Turkic term ayuq 'realm' and investigate its relations with other terms of traditional Inner Asian administrative terms, mostly with Mongolia ay(i)may 'county'. The paper also deals with the notion of territorial realm and territorial administration among the peoples of the steppe-zone.
