topic, subject, theme · reason, cause, grounds, justification · motif (recurring or dominant element in a work of art)
çekim: çoğul aiheet · tamlayan aiheen
köken: Probably via metathesis from ajaa (“to drive, pursue”) + -e (*ajeh), "that which spurs or drives on" > "reason". May also be inspired by aie. Another theory proposes a borrowing from an earlier (Pre-Germanic) form of Proto-Germanic *aiz (“copper, bronze”) (like *ajes- → *aješ > *ajeh), but the semantics and distribution make this questionable.
occasion, opportunity, chance · occasion (the time when something happens) · time, occasion, instance, occurrence (see also the examples at alkalommal)
çekim: çoğul alkalmak
köken: From the obsolete alk (“conformity, adaptation, adjustment to something”) + -alom (noun-forming suffix). The original stem is probably related to Hungarian alkot (“to create”) and alku (“deal”), and it may also be related to Hungarian olt (“to vaccinate”), which may derive from Proto-Uralic *alɜ- (“to add/fasten to something, fit”).
