<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I would like to know more about the Turkic languages. I did check on some Turkic languages, but the only one I found to really colexify the two meanings seems to be Tuvan (which is also spoken in MNEA). In other Turkic
languages, such as Uighur, Kazakh, Uzbek, and Turkish, it seems to be <i>qoy-</i> for putting and
<i>sal-</i> or <i>boshat-</i> for releasing, and that Turkic languages generally make lexical distinction of these two, although they sometimes do semantically overlap. But since I have little knowledge about Turkic languages, I would love to hear more ideas
on this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Turkic languages also use the same verb for 'to put' and 'to leave',
