Notes
It is a Chagatai Turkish-Persian dictionary written by Mirzâ Mehdi Ḫan between 1758 and 1760 to understand the works of Ali Şîr Nevâyî. The work contains Anatolian, Azerbaijani Turkish and Mongolian words as well as Chagatai Turkish. There are approximately 6000 words per entry in the dictionary (Eckmann 2017: 188-189). The dictionary means "stony" in Turkish. In the introduction of the dictionary, Mīrzâ Mehdī Ḫan named the work "senglâh" due to the many difficulties he encountered (Caferoğlu 1974: 226). The work was discussed in three stages. The first chapter, called Mebâniü'l-Lüga, is about Chagatai Turkish grammar. The second part is the dictionary section written using Nevâyî's works and covers nearly 90% of the work (Akdemir 2020: 29). In the third chapter, Arabic and Persian words in Nevâyî's poetic works are included (Rahimi 2018: 81). Mirzâ Mahdî Ḫan did not only focus on Nevâyî in his dictionary; Lütfì, Hüseyin Baykara, Bâbür and Chagatai also scanned a Kelile and Dimne. There are a total of 6 copies of the work: 1. British Museum I;2. British Museum II;3. Oxford Bodleian Library;4. London School of Oriental Studies Ktp.;5. Paris National Library;6. Tehran National Ctp. (Ölmez 1998: 140-141). On the other hand, according to F. Rahimi, 11 copies of Senglâḫ are in Iranian libraries:1. Tehran-Melik National Ctp. nr.392;2. Tehran-Melik National Ctp. nr.1481/5;3. Tehran-National Ctp. nr.F-1141;4. Tehran University-Central Ktp. nr.4919;5. Tehran-Parliament Ctp. nr.860;6. Tehran-Parliament Ctp. nr.17227;7. Tehran-Parliament Ctp. nr.53/2;8. Tehran-Daru'l-maarif-i Büzürg-i İslami Ktp. nr.496;9. Tehran-Sipehsalar Ktp. (Mebâniü'l-Lüga) nr.38;10. Kum-Gülpaygani Ktp. (Mebâni'ü'l-Luġa) nr.3/106-486;11. Kum-Feyziye Madrasa Ctp. nr.10/2 (Rahimi 2017: 2069-2070). The first study on the work was made by Rieu in 1888. The first scientific study on the first part of the dictionary (Mebâni'ü'l-Lüga) was carried out by E. Denison Ross in 1910. This section was also published by J. Eckmann between 1942-1947. The third study on this section was made by Besim Atalay. The fourth researcher working on Mebâniü'l-Lüga is K. Heinrich Menges. Sir Gerard Clauson was the first to work on the dictionary part. The work was also published in Iran by Revşen Hiyavi. Again, a three-volume study was conducted by M. Hüseyin Sadık (Düzgün) in Iran.
