The phrase "𐰚𐰇𐰼𐱅 𐰠𐰴𐰣" in the first sentence of the fifth line could be either read as "Kört äl kan" "Kürt el kan", literally meaning "the inn of the Kurdish province". This caused some researchers to believe in theories speculating the Turkic origin of Kurds. Later, some local and foreign researchers working on Turkic history accepted this reading and interpretation, and came to the possibility that the Kurds once had a relation with Turkic tribes.
