öbür

ökür is a Turkish word that roughly translates to "other" or "else". It is used as a suffix or prefix to signify something that is different or outside of a particular category. In Turkish grammar, 'ökür' is often employed as a prepositional form, indicating an indirect object or a location other than the one mentioned.

In literary and poetic contexts, 'ökür' is sometimes used to convey a sense of distinction or separation between two entities or concepts. For instance, in Sufi poetry, 'ökür' might be used to emphasize the distance between the material and spiritual worlds.

In modern Turkish language, 'ökür' is mostly used in regional dialects and rural areas. In formal or official contexts, 'öteki' or 'diğer' are more commonly used to express the concept of "other". However, 'ökür' remains a valid word with a rich cultural heritage, particularly in classical Turkish literature and folklore.

The word 'ökür' is also seen in the names of some planets and stars in the Turkish Lunar Calendar, such as gün 'bökür'de day which means "planet bökür".day". This is due to the fact that ancient Turkish astronomers used 'ökür' to describe celestial bodies that were considered foreign or outside of their known sphere of influence.

The origins of 'ökür' are unclear, but it is thought to have derived from pre-Islamic Turkish folk language.
