Gerundive form of اُوزْماقْ (ōzmāq, “to surpass, outstrip”). Alternatively, it has also been read as uzā and thus has been connected with Proto-Turkic *uŕa- (“to become long”), however the word is written with an o- in languages it survives in.

اُزا (ozā)

1. past

   اُزاقیٖ بِلْكا اَنْجا اَيمِشْ ― Ozākï bilge anča aymïš... ― The wise of the past said like that...
