What I have realized is that the only branch among Turks (besides the Khalaj) preserving the PIE and Basque radical consonant [h-] is the Bashkir language, which is spoken by the Bashkirs and who are known for their highest R1b frequencies in Asia:
And there is quite another phenonem in the endoethnonyms of the Basque and Bashkir peoples. Bashkir is composed of two words: Bashk- (endoethnonym) and -er ('people'), Bashk is quite similar to Bask/Basque. "Basque" comes from French basque (“Basque”) which in turn derives from Latin Vascones, a Roman era tribe in the Franco-Cantabrian region of southern Europe who were ancestors of the current Basque population. So what do you think? Discuss!

Basque bizi 'alive, living; life' PRE-BASQUE: *bizi 'alive, living' at page 18:
Compare with Turkic: yaş, yaşa- 'to live, age; year', yavru 'young baby child or animal'
Proto-Turkic: *jāĺ ('young') or *jāĺ ('fresh, raw').

Next. Basque egun 'day; today' PRE-BASQUE: *egu(-n) 'day; sun' at page 19:
Compare with Turkic: bugün 'today', gün 'sun, daylight, day'.
Proto-Altaic: *gi̯òjńu 'dawn, daylight'
Proto-IE: *gʷhai- 'light, bright'
also compare Turkic: dün 'yesterday', which is quite similar to Turkic tan 'sky, daylight', hence forming Turkic Tengri 'god'.

more to come... Basque zur 'wood', sei 'boy or child', izar 'star' are also quite similar to Turkic forms. I will present them later.
