It's great to find morphology mashups, partially formed according to one language's rules and partially according to another language's rules.

Reading a #Greek text of the early #Ottoman period, I saw Καραμανλῆδες.

The first part of the word is Karamanlı, #Turkish for "of Karaman." The ending is the Greek third declension nominative plural for a dental stem. (Why? I don't know.)

On the next page I see Ὀτμανλίδες, the same form for "Ottomans."
