 BAKLAVA The word baklava is of Turkish origin. Baklağu is called baklaki in
Old Turkish. Another evidence showing that the word baklava is Turkish is
the word oklava, which is used to roll out dough. It is a word that was used
in written works before 1500, and whose origin can be documented with
its uses such as oklağa, oklağu, oklâ, oklaş in the old language. Buell (1999)
stated that the name "baklava" may have been derived by adding the
Turkish verb suffix -v to the Mongolian word baγla-, which means to bind
or wrap, but that the Mongolian verb baγla- is also a borrowed word from
here. Old Turkish.
