the original proto-turkic instrumental case suffix -n, less productive today preserved in common words yazın ( during summer ), kışın ( during winter ), öğlen ( @ noon ), , yayan ( foot , on foot ). became less productive in oghuz turkic languages. conjunction ile ( ) in turkish has semantically expanded fill gap (kürek ile or kürekle, meaning shovel > using shovel ), being used instrumental marker, , suffix -(y)la (-le, -la, -yle, -yla) form of ile has been grammaticalized agglutinative suffix result of quick speech, becoming enclitic.
