to tinker (with), to work (on) (in an attempt to fix, mend or improve it)
çekim: geçmiş bastelte · ortaç gebastelt · şimdiki bastelt · ulaç bastelnd
köken: An Upper German verb, from earlier besteln, iterative of Middle High German besten, from Proto-West Germanic *bastijan. The -a- is perhaps dialectal or through readaptation to the underlying noun Bast (“bast”).
handle; helve; haft · group; bunch; a number, a handful · kind; variety
çekim: çoğul دستهها
köken: From Middle Persian [script needed] (dstk' /dastag/, “bunch, bundle, group; handle”), equivalent to دست (dast, “hand”) + ـه (-e). Akin to Old Armenian դաստակ (dastak), տստակ (tstak), Arabic دَسْتَج (dastaj), Classical Syriac ܕܣܬܩܐ (dastəqāʾ), all Iranian borrowings.
to fiddle, fidget with (something); to touch (something) lightly and repeatedly with one's fingers · to fumble, fidget somewhere or with something (-val/-vel) · to fritter, tinker with something (-val/-vel), to occupy oneself idly
çekim: geçmiş babráltak
köken: Probably of onomatopoeic origin; from the same stem as babirkál (“to fritter, tinker”) + -ál (frequentative verb-forming suffix). The stem may also be related to the stem of bibe, bibi and bíbelődik. Possibly developed under the influence of Slovak babrať (“to fiddle with”), from Proto-Slavic *babrati. First attested in 1784.
köken: Derived from amplus (“ample, large”). Older theories derived the word from Proto-Indo-European *h₂em-lo-, from *h₂em- (“to grasp”), and linked to ānsa (“handle”).
