Abstract :In Old Turkic, there are both ät - and öt -, which means ‘to sing, to make sounds (for animals)’. These are more prevalent in that period, but the use of ät - has diminished over time and has left its place to the öt -. The historical phonetics does not provide us any conclusive evidence whether there is a sound shifting at the beginning of the word like /ä-/ > /ö-/. For this reason, it is necessary to evaluate the two verbs separately. The existence of two verbs as a difference today in Turkic languages support our hypothesis.Keywords : ät-, öt-, etymology, synonym
