Although Kutadgu Bilig, which is one of the most important works of the history of Turkish civilization, has been the subject of many studies, it can be claimed that, due to its rich content, all of its properties have not been put forward yet. Accordingly, its qualities that have escaped from researchers' attention are gradually being brought to light. The present study focuses on the postposition of sani, which primarily functions as an analogy and which is formed with the verb san- "to assume, to suppose" and the gerund suffix -1. The study provides information on its usage in the work, the process of its grammaticalization, and its etymology.
