text: F. Altheim assumes a Turkic origin for the Hephthalites. In his own studies he affirms, that the Hephthalites were Turkic-speaking Altaic tribes. The ethnonym "Hephtal" is drawn from the Turkic root: yap, meaning to do, to make, plus a^([sic]) verbal-nominal suffixes t and l. The reconstructed word is yap-t-il, which means "creator, maker" ("Schaffender, Tatiger"). The language of the Hephthalites was Turkic and the presence of the Iranian words is explained by elements that penetrated the Hephthalites language from the subordinated Iranian-speaking population.

When the fibres are so disposed in a long skain, that their ends succeed each other along its length, without many of them meeting in one place; and this skain is twisted round... the friction on a fibre which we attempt to pull out may be more than its cohesion can overcome... Consequently, if we pull at this twisted skain, we shall not separate it by drawing one parcel out from among the rest, but the whole fibres will break; and if the distribution of the fibres has been a very equable, the skain will be nearly of the same strength in every part.
