Abstract
The aim of this article is to present and discuss sixteen couplets called Nogay songs (so-called čyŋs) in a Crimean Karaim mejuma copied by Eliyahu b. Yosef Qılcı at the beginning of the 20th century. None of these songs are known from the collections edited so far, although songs of this genre were very popular among
all the peoples of the Crimea who spoke Turkic languages, especially the Crimean Tatars and Nogays. In the case of the Crimean Karaims, a total of hundred and five čyŋs were published by Ananiasz Zajączkowski and eleven by Włodzimierz Zajączkowski. However, despite the claim that čyŋs were a typical Crimean Tatar and Nogay genre, nobody provided any Nogay translations of these songs. The article endeavours to answer the question of whether Qılcı composed them himself or adapted Crimean Tatar songs he knew or copied from others into the Nogay language. The paper also investigates how successful Qılcı’s adaptation was. The couplets are provided with a translation into Polish.
