Etymology
From tr ota ـلهین -leyin (ota ـلاین -layın with back vowel harmony), from tr trk-pro *-leyü + trk-pro *-n. Originally a comitative case suffix, later extended by -n (originally an instrumental suffix). Its use is limited to time phrases today and it shouldn't follow vowel harmony. Compare tr -in. Cognate with tk -leýin.
