Noker
A nöker was a member a group of military comrades in medieval Mongolian and Turkic armies. The word nöker means "comrade" in the Mongol language.
The nökers were led by a leader and they were loyal to their leader. These relationships lasted for life. In turn, the leader was responsible for maintaining the wealth of the nökers. The historian Halil İnalcık sees the nöker relationship as comparable to the commendatio or homage of the medieval armies in Europe.[1]
