Yurt (English spelling) [Turkey]

Japanese: ユルタ(英語表記)yurt[トルコ]
Yurt (English spelling) [Turkey]
Originally it meant an abandoned campsite, but later came to mean a place to live, land, or a felt tent. Yurt is closer to the original pronunciation. Among the Turkish nomads, the words Oei and Uy are often used to refer to felt tents. Structurally, it is no different from a Mongolian ger, with a circular plan, a canopy supported by accordion-style willow side walls, and a felt fabric bound with braided cord made of wool or other materials. The distinctive feature of a yurt compared to a ger is that the canopy is slightly rounded.

Japanese:
もともと〈放棄された野営地〉を意味していたが,のち〈住む場所〉〈土地〉〈フェルト製テント〉などの意味に使われるようになった。ユルトというのが原音に近い。トルコ系遊牧民のなかでは,オエイ,ウイ系の言葉がフェルト製テントに対して用いられることが多い。円形のプランと蛇腹式になったヤナギ材の側壁に支えられた天蓋,羊毛製などの組紐で緊縛したフェルト地など,構造的にはモンゴル族のゲルと変わらない。ゲルと比較したユルタの特徴は,天蓋部がやや丸みを帯びている点である。
