Your Sumerian-Ural/Altaic word comparisons are
certainly interesting... But some Turkish words
listed are borrow words from non-Altaic languages.
On the other hand, some better matches in Turkish
can be found instead of the given examples. This
is all I can say after taking a quick look at it
and unfortunately I can't spare the time to offer
item by item comments. (besides I'm no linguist
and can't even tell what sounds the numeric digits
supposed to indicate, etc.) But I'll try to follow
the thread...
