as life subjects./Divanu lugat-it-Turk. Tercumesi, III cilt, Geviren Besim Atalay, Ankara, 1986, S.333./
In old Turkic written monuments this
word is frequently used as stone memorial constructions: fences, boxes, blocks. Some scientists consider these stone boxes, fences as cult constructions
(“fences, boxes, blocks on old Turkic memorial monuments simulate the scheme of space mountain...” - V.Vojtov, «an fences-sculptures
-balbals - are (cult) constructions which structure is caused world universal outlook, these are the model of the world» L.N.Ermolenko and others.

We do not share opinions as if the stone fences, boxes simulate space, outlook to the world, the world models etc.
The memorial fences represented chests, felt carpets which were used in a life of the died person. Thus, things which surrounded the
person while she was alive were immortalized on stones, when for the dead. Therefore the word “barïq” was used for life subjects (“eb baryq”)
while the person was alive, and as memorial construction (“adynchig baryq”) after her death.
