Can anyone shed some light on the possible roots of this Turkish name: rnsak.

I have found out that rn is a new Turkish word introduced in 1935 meaning product and the Mongolian equivalent is ren meaning some sort of fruit.  Sak I have discovered could be linked to Kazakh:

''The name Kazakh, both for the people and for the nation itself, is derived from the ancient Turkic words "ka" which means "great" and "sak" which means the name of ancient tribe and the Avestan/Old Persian.'



Sak being of Turkish or Iranic origin...? :

For the word sak (saka) was supposed the etymology from the ancient Iranian verb sak - to go, flow, run, and on its base: saka - running, swift, vagrant, nomadic.


- from the Turkish verb sak (saq) - to awake, guard, and on its base sak - awake, alert and sakči - guard, guardian.


Maybe a link to this:

sakar ~ ET? sakar alında uğursuzluk nişanı ve alnında bu nişan bulunan kimse (xiv) - someone who aims


Please, if anyone can find out more it'd be very welcome!  Thanks.

Saki is the cup bearer in the Shah Nameh. 
Knowledge is power, and power is the knowledge of when not to use it.
