Abstract

This article analyzes the lexical-semantic features of religious concepts 
presented in the dictionary “Ash-Shuzur az-Zahabiyya.” The study examines theonyms, 
religious terms, and lexical units related to worship and cosmological representations 
contained in the dictionary. Particular attention is given to the relationship between 
Arabic and Turkic lexical layers, the methods of interpretation, and the mechanisms of 
conceptual explanation. In addition, the historical and cultural foundations of religious 
notions are discussed on the basis of comparative materials. The results of the study 
contribute to revealing the process of the formation of religious terminology in medieval 
Turkic lexicography.
