The four-verse poem of the great Kazakh poet Abay «Eskilik kiimi» describes the clothing and equipment of the ancient Kazakh hunter. Since the poem describes the nomadic culture of the early era, there are many ethnographisms, historicisms that are characteristic of the early period and are not currently used. Since some of the ethnographisms and historicisms are not used in the modern Kazakh language, it was necessary to refer to the materials of Turkic written monuments and languages to determine their main meanings. The article analyzes ethnographic names that are currently not used and some of them do not make sense using the historical-comparative method.
