omuzlarn

Omuzlarn is a term found in Turkic-language sources that denotes the shoulders, the upper region of the torso where the arms connect to the body. In many modern Turkic languages the standard nominative plural form is omuzlar, while omuzlarn can appear in transliterations or in certain grammatical contexts, such as oblique or compound forms, depending on the language and orthography. The root omuz means shoulder, and the plural marker -lar is common across these languages.

Linguistic background and forms vary by language. In Turkish and Azerbaijani, among others, the base word is omuz and the plural is omuzlar. In Uzbek and other Turkic varieties, additional suffixes may be attached to indicate case, definiteness, or direct object roles, which can yield forms that resemble omuzlarn in older texts or in non-standard transliterations. The precise morphology depends on the language and script being used.

Anatomy and function. The shoulders are part of the pectoral girdle, comprising the clavicle and scapula, and support the upper limbs’ range of motion. The shoulder region includes muscles such as the deltoids, trapezius, and rotator cuff groups, which enable lifting, reaching, and stabilizing the arm. The term omuzlarn in discourse about anatomy typically corresponds to both shoulders collectively.

Cultural and linguistic usage. References to omuzlarn appear mainly in linguistic descriptions, dictionaries, and historical texts that discuss Turkic phonology, orthography, or body-part terminology.
