In 1072, Turkish writer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmud_al-Kashgari Mahmud al-Kashgari] mentions old Turkish lullabies as 'balubalu' in his book ''Dīwānu l-Luġat al-Turk (Compendium of the languages of the Turks)''. It is also speculated the term may come from "Lilith-bye" or "Lilith-Abi" (Hebrew for "Lilith, begone"). In Biblical tradition, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith Lilith] was a [[demon]] who was believed to steal children's [[souls]] in the night. To guard against Lilith, Jewish people would hang four amulets on nursery walls with the inscription "Lilith – abi!" ["Lilith – begone"] which is a possible origin of the English word "lullaby".
