We read this word (SOYCSU) on page 77r.
600 Years ago, while writing this word, the author wrote the second-to-last letter in both -S- and -ANS- readable formats. The bottom circle of the letter S is filled with a dot. This is the tamga sign read with the sound value -AN-. This tamga sign is written with the letter S intertwined with the tamga at the bottom. Therefore, we can also read the word as well as like SOYCANSU near SOYCSU.
SOYCSU format, which is the first reading here, is close to the phonetic value of the words we sing in the form of SOĞUK+SU today.
So it's a compound word. The word cold has already been recorded in different forms in different dialects of the Turkish language.
Forms of the word pronounced in Old Turkic (ET): soguk, cold, sauh, soğuh, souh, sowuh were recorded. Now, thanks to this manuscript, we will have recorded the "soyc" form in the dialect of the author. The English equivalent of this word (SOYC+SU / COLD+SU) can be translated as "COLD+WATER". The second-to-last letter of the word can be considered a syllabic combination of a tamga sign with a simple vowel. So much so that the author most probably specifically wanted us to read this word in both ways. Because she/he probably meant to show his intelligence for a special reader by using the possibilities that like this special alphabet created for her/him. Thus, the spelling of the word SOYCANSU was formed by consciously combining three words in the form of SOY+CAN+SU. In fact, since the word CANSU in Turkish language has a name and has some meaning content, that we can also evaluate this word as SOY+CANSU. In both cases, the meaning remains unchanged.
If you look at the word CANSU in the dictionary, you will see that one of its meanings is explained as LIFE WATER. You can see the meanings of the words SOĞUK, SOYUH, SOY, CAN, SU, CANSU and CAN SUYU on the web-link pages below.
Thus, regardless of how the words SOYCANSU / SOY+CANSU / SOY+CAN+SU are written, we can translate this word as "species life giving water" and/or "variety of life giving water".
These words have not been seen in compound word form before. Like some other words in this manuscript, this spelling will probably be recorded for the first time.

Note: The name CANSU is also noted as a female/girl name according to the dictionary of Turkish names.
