What does Günsav mean?
Sun and utterance
In Turkish: Güneş ve söz
Günsav places the image of the sun alongside speech and expression. The older senses of sav, involving words and messages, give this element a broader history than its modern meaning of a proposition. The name belongs structurally with Turkish sun compounds while adding an association with language and communication.
