==Etymology== Since the soul reaches heaven by flying up to it, for example by taking the appearance of a bird or carried by a spirit sent by Ülgen, will be carried to heaven after death, heaven carries a connotation of flying. Since the Turkic word for flight (uç) combined with the infinitive verbal suffix -mak means to take flight, from the eleventh century onwards, this word served to designate this particular region of the afterlife. However, another possibility is Sogdian word '' (paradise).
