This article analyzes the semantic evolution and linguopoetic characteristics of the lexeme "suyak" (bone) in the Uzbek language and literature within the context of ethno-cultural and archetypal representations. The research highlights the Zoroastrian ostodan rituals, folktales ("Uchar gilam"), ritual customs, paremiological units, as well as the semantic and metaphorical layers of the bone detail in the literary works of Alisher Navoi, Abdulla Qodiriy, and Sherbek Bobonor o‘g‘li. The linguoculturological significance of the lexeme is demonstrated through its representation of physical and spiritual human memory, resilience, social stratification ("oqsuyak"/"qorasuyak"), and poetic similes.
