There are many gaps in our knowledge of the origin of the Hephthalites and the formation of their state, the first difficulty being that they are given different names in the various sources. Example: 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.
