Summary/Abstract: The article considers two historically unrelated types of de-identifying (constituent) nominal negation in the Urum language. The first of the two grammatical constructions is based on the post-nominal marker dögül. The second negative construction is a combination of a negative verbal suffix and marked word order. The article also demonstrates the way the two negation types are functionally distributed through the language. Finally, it considers the common features of both grammatical constructions, and those features can be described as the core model of the Urum de-identifying nominal negation.
