Bolshoy-Yaloman III inscription — a new reading and interpretation
Abstract
Mountainous Altai inscriptions have a special place and importance among the Turkic Runic inscriptions. There are more than a hundred inscriptions in the territory of the Republic of Mountainous Altai of the Russian Federation. Work on these inscriptions continues. The Bolshoy-Yaloman III complex, discovered by A.A. Tishkin, contains one text in Old Uyghur script and three texts in Turkic Runic script. There is only one proposed reading and interpretation of the three Turkic runic texts, published by Tugusheva, Klyashtorny and Kubarev. However, the authors were not able to read most of the inscription and only provided a transliteration. This article presents a new reading and interpretation of three rock inscriptions found in the Bolshoy-Yaloman III complex. After reading and interpretation, explanations were made about the words in the inscription.
