== Etymology == According to several sources, the word "gadesh" is derived from the word "brother" found in all Turkic languages and adapted to the Absheron dialect through the Tat language. It also means "little sister" in Karakalpak and Kyrgyz languages. Also, "karindash/kerentesh/kharantesh" is a Bashkir word, meaning "little sister" in the southern dialects of the language.
