gıday
/ɡɯdaj/
1. hornless, having no horns — Said of cattle and goats: gıday iynek "a hornless cow", gıday eçki "a hornless goat". A proverb says that a hornless goat, looking at itself in the water, takes itself for a kid.
- gıday iynek — a hornless cow
- gıday eçki — a hornless goat
- gıday ulaq — a hornless kid
- eki gıday eçki — two hornless goats
- gıday eçki suwğa qarasa — if a hornless goat looks into the water
2. worn smooth, bare, without projections — Said of bare, weathered mountain tops and of worn-out boot toes, as in gıday başlı tawla. One homonym dictionary lists this as a separate word.
- gıday başlı tawla — mountains with bare tops
- başı jelde gıday bolğan — with its top worn bare in the wind
- soldatnı çuruq başları gıday bolğandıla — the soldier's boot toes had worn smooth
- ustaznı jırtılğan gıday çuruqlarına — at the teacher's torn, worn-smooth boots

Several things

Any thing takes the third-person ending, not only these: bu gıdaydı, bıla gıdaydıla. In texts biznikile is usually kesibiznikile, "our own people", and a surname with -nıqıla names a family: Dudalanıqıla, "the Dudas".
