11 The edition of the Shajara-i Tarākima prepared by Zuhal Kargı Ölmez contains a wordlist and notes on select words, some of them are included in Kincses-Nagy's book, that makes research on Abū al-Ghāzī’s vocabulary much easier.

16 Clauson, Sanglax f. 320v/26. The list of such words is quite long. See e.g. adïrġan (p. 39), amïdun (p. 47), dabusun (p. 89), düläy (p. 102), äläkä (p. 105), eljigän (p. 106), elinčig (p. 106), emägän (p. 107), ġašun (p. 110), etc.
