OĞUZNȂMELERDE ORUN VE ÜLÜŞ PAYLAŞIMI
ORUN (AUTHORITY) AND ÜLÜŞ (SHARE) DISTRIBUTION IN OGHUZNAMAS

Summary/Abstract: Oghuznamas are the works of wise men with white beard describing the historical, religious and socio-cultural backgrounds of the Oghuz tribes. These epics, which are perceived as a core in the mythological period, reflect the characteristics of the periods in which they were both oral and written. Events by Oguz Khan and his Alps bear the traces pre-Islam and post-Islam. This study is about the distribution of orun (place) and share (ülüş) included in the Oguznamas using the Document (Content) Analysis method. The knowledge has been provided about the origin and meaning of the words Orun and Ülüş. Aforementioned words in Turkish states and communities were also traced. It was understood that in the most general sense, Orun expressed the "place", but also had the meanings of "rank and position. The Researchers who studied on the subject of orun stated that the division made by legendary or historical rulers became a law. While Ülüş is defined as “share and lot, it is observed in the Turkish states that the ülüş was given according to the orun. It is obvious that in Oghuznama, defined as the great epic or circular epic, there is position and share without mentioning the name of orun. It was understood that orun and orunnama were used in the Şecere-i Terâkime, Andalip Oghuznama and Dânâ Ata Oghuznama.. The concept of ülüş was appointed by the Vizier Irkıl Hodja during the period of Kun Khan in the Oghuznama of Residuddin. Onguns were also created by him in this period. The first division was made by Prophet Noah in the Reşideddin Oghuznama in which the effect of Islam could be seen. Thus, the legendary or historical ruler is replaced by a prophet. In the works of the Mongolian circle written under the influence of Oguznamas, sharing and position were seen, but both words were not recorded. Ülüş is divided according to the orun among the Turks. The distribution of orun and ülüş changed in the course of time according to the status.
