ый = "moon" (Sakha)


Thanks for this contribution. I hadn't heard of Sakha, but I could see it that it's clearly a Turkic language, since "moon" in Turkish is "ay." Googling, I found that Sakha is the (new? preferred?) name for Yakut, which I certainly have heard of. That prompted me to browse around www.yakutia.org and then listen to a radio station broadcast in Sakha. To my ears, it's a captivating language to listen to.

"Sakha" is the self-designation of "Yakut" and I think that it's preferred.
