Determination of high and low vowels in the first syllable is a quite important problem in Old Turkic. How can this important problem be solved and which method must be carried out? Old Turkic sources are not adequate for solution of this problem, so we need to refer comparative Turkic Languages. In this stage, can Dīvānu Lugāt-it Türk contribute us? Can phonotactics of Mahmut Kašγarî be useful for quality of rounded vowels? In this paper, we would like to focus on this problem and offer a solution suggestion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
