Abstract

This paper attempts to give new explanation for the expression agrip yok bol- occurring in 9th line of the south side of the Bilga Kagan Inscription. After a thorough survey of former research and several Chinese sources, the authors came to the conclusion that this expression must be a euphemistic expression for being beheaded in a battle. The authors found also that kog sa.un was Guo Yingjie. In sum, the sentence in question is to be read as ulug oglum agrip yok bolca kog sa.unug balbal tika bertim `When my oldest son died of a disease, I readily erected General Kog as a balbal (for him).' The expression agrip yok bol- is to be regarded as a euphemistic expression for being beheaded in a battle.
