The domestic and national engine LEVEND, developed by BMC POWER, was integrated into the Tugboat-25 owned by the Istanbul Shipyard Command and began service on July 18.

With approximately three times the traction power, it successfully completed its first test voyage by docking Atatürk’s legacy, TCG Savarona, at the port.

We continue to work and produce for our country!

One thing I would like to know why it is LEVEND and not LEVENT !!!
I can understand that MURAD is the acronym of Milli Uçak RADarı. But what is LEVEND?

While "Levent" is both a name and a title for a sailor or military officer during the Ottoman period, the word "levend" generally carries negative connotations such as "idle, unemployed." Furthermore, "levend" is the Persian form of the word "levent."

It doesn’t sit well with the Arabisation of Turkish names either.

Only thing i can find is that Levend is the ottoman version of Levent, but i can't confirm it.

I honestly had no idea.

It is correct. Names usually end with "d" instead of "t" in Arabic linguistic culture, which affects Ottoman through the alphabetical culture.

How does the word exist in other Turkic languages? If it is LEVEND, I personally don't mind its use if other Turkic countries adopt it, but if it is solely for the arabization of the Turkish language, then I agree with you.

It should be Levent, even if it ends with "d" it should be converted to "t" according to the rules of the Turkish language. Murad is different. Murad is short for Milli Uçak RADarı (M-U-RAD). Levend doesn't stand for anything.

I would think of names like code names rather than literal names. Levent is used as a man's name in the modern day and seldom used to mean the marines. Levent is converted to levend when it receives a possessive suffix. I would choose levend over levent as it becomes a distinctive private name rather than a common name. Similar to Kaan instead of Kağan. A stylized name that stands out.
