Özet
Some vocabulary pointing to geography, technology, culture etc. are usable in defining homelandsof peoples, thus of language families and their sub-groups. Recent scholarship has tended to referwords concerning wheel and cart, among others, since they are related to some Neolithictechnological innovations visible through archaeological surveys, especially in searching for Indo-European homeland and in defining chronologies of early steps. Those studies are within Eurasiancontext at all. Turks and Turkic belong to the true Eurasian continent, and should not be exemptedfrom such studies. This paper deals with the concerning Turkic vocabulary and its historicalcomparison with other Eurasian languages and families, and suggests that Turkic words for wheeland cart are as old as the words of other families (mainly Indo-European). Regarding possibleloanings of those Turkic words to some other languages, Turkic homeland is set to the west ofCentral Asia. On the other hand, the author rejects the idea of relating the concerning vocabularyto innovations. Rather, it seems, suitable verbs or adjectives present in languages were applied tonew tools and acts. Thus, the concerning vocabulary may exhibit some Nostratic or Eurasiaticcharacters, which may be misleading in detecting relationships.
