1.3.1.1. Native-like

In these, the form of native-like compound with a fingerspelled component is quite unlike the form of the borrowed word. For example, the fingerspelled letters u-n, the two letters of the loan word un (‘flour’) in Turkish, combine with the sign knead to yield the meaning ‘flour’ (Note that the corresponding Turkish word is not a compound). Other similar examples are as follows:

 

          ç^throw

çöp (Turkish)
‘garbage’

         

 

 

p^party 

parti (Turkish)

‘political party’

 

           

    

 

m^plan 

        mimar (Turkish)

       ‘architect’
