head

быцъынӕг скъуынын • (byc’ynæg sk’°ynyn)

os-verb

быцъынӕг скъуынын • (byc’ynæg sk’°ynyn)

/bəˈt͡sʼən̪ɐɡ s̪kʷʼɘn̪ən̪/

Compound of быцъынӕг (byc’ynæg, “Pecheneg(s)”) + скъуынын (sk’°ynyn, “to exterminate”), literally “to exterminate the Pechenegs”. The expression reflects the contempt of the Alanians, ancestors of the Ossetians, for the nomadic Pechenegs, who were responsible for frequent raids into their kingdom. Given its meaning, it was very likely coined after John II Komnenos' victory against this Turkic tribe in 1122 or 1123 CE.
