В статье рассматриваются языковые и этнографические данные о том, что предмет, названный «сыпырой», стал священным домашним имуществом, служившим и подстилкой, и посудой, что послужило основой для формирования у казахских и других тюркских народов многих этнокультурных символических фразеологизмов.
In the Kazakh traditional mode of life, hides of livestock and various species of animals were used as the main source of raw materials. Their role as a raw material does not lose its relevance to the present day. Products made from the processed raw material are widely used in everyday life of Kazakhs, such as clothing, utensils, housing, harness and household items, etc. They testify to the high level of processing of raw hides.
In the article, the ethno-linguistic analysis of one of the ancient household articles “sypyra” is given. “Sypyra” is translated from the Kazakh language as a tablecloth for rolling out dough; it is usually made of raw sheep or goat hide.
The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest present.
