Does the K&B EVER cite evidence from Turkish? (I haven't had a chance toI doubt if it would ever be relevant. According to most scholars (though not Turkish ones), the Turkic peoples were living thousands of miles away from the Israelites during the BH period, and so it is very improbable that there are Turkic loan words in the HB. There just might be words of Arabic, Aramaic, Hittite etc origin relevant to Hebrew which are preserved only in Turkish. Well, I guess this is quite likely with some place names; for example, the name of a northern possible Ur of the Chaldees may be preserved in the Turkish city name Urfa. (I posted evidence for this one on this list some years ago, https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/b-hebrew/2000-June/007517.html, see also https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/b-hebrew/2000-June/007495.html.)
look, but I doubt it was part of their procedure.)
