I would like to inform this group about a new finding. Last week we read the name of the onion plant that matches the drawing on VM page 100r. This plant is drawn on the top right of the 100r page. The author wrote the word ZOILAK / ZOLAK next to the drawing (According to ATA Transcription). We write this word today in the form of ZULAK.
The sound value of the word seems to have changed very insignificantly over 600 years. Today, we see this word written as ZULAK in dictionaries. (By the way, we have also found examples where some words that match the drawings have not changed their sound value in 600 years.)
You can see the meaning of the word ZULAK in this dictionary link.

The meaning of the word ZULAK / ZOLAK: "Tohuma kaçan soğan" (in Turkish).
This is the given name of an onion in the seedy period.
Note: Currently, the number of Turkish words matching the VM drawings in same page is 81. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
