B) Etymological dictionary of the Russian language. - M .: Progress M.R. Vasmer 1964-1973: “Belmes, only in the expression does not understand a belmes. From tat., tour. bilmas "he won't know" (from bilmak) or tur. bilmaz "ignorant"; see Korsch, AfslPh 9, 491; Bernecker 1, 40; She;ld, ZfslPh 5, 392.

2) Application of the term in Russian. Russian National Corpus
* S. P. Zhikharev. Notes of a contemporary (1806-1809): “Why do you preach this nonsense to the ladies and young ladies at Marya Alekseevna’s evenings, who don’t understand a single belmes in our dramatic poetry?”
* N. G. Chernyshevsky. What to do? (1863): " blue stocking with senseless affectation smugly talks about literary or scientific things, in which he does not understand a single belmes, and talks not because he is really interested in them, but in order to flaunt his mind (which he did not happen to receive from nature), his sublime aspirations (of which there are as many in him as in the chair on which he sits) and his education (of which there is as much in him as in a parrot).
* A. F. Pisemsky. People of the Forties (1869): “And imagine, cousin,” Pavel continued, “since a month ago I didn’t know an iota or belmes in French.”
* A. P. Chekhov. Albion's daughter (1883): "It's all the same, she doesn't understand belmes in Russian."
* A. D. Galakhov. From The Forties (1892): “The Lord is with you, Avdotya Petrovna: yes, I don’t know a belmes, in German; your reading will not be horse fodder.”
3) Generalization and conclusion
The term "belmes" in Russian literature has been recorded since 1806, in the Dictionary of the Church Slavonic and Russian Language of 1847, the article: "Belmes. The sign of complete ignorance. He doesn’t understand a belmes ”; those. NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING. An earlier use of the word could not be established.
There are no examples of the use of the word in "Turkic" (Tatar, Turkish) languages - texts indicating the time the term appeared in Turkish or Tatar. The whole etymology is based on the fact that the word exists in these languages, but it also exists in Russian, and we have determined the lower limit of the time the word appeared - 1806.
From the materials of the National Corpus of the Russian Language it is clear that the term was introduced into the literature by major Russian writers, A.S. Pushkin, N.V. Gogol and others.
It is impossible to express an opinion about the Tatar or Turkish etymology of "bilmak, bilmaz" without ancient written sources - texts.
It is advisable to consider the term in connection with Hebrew terminology and biblical images. It is known that before the arrival of the Tatars in the Volga basin (XIII century), there existed the Khazar Khaganate (VIII-XII centuries), the state religion was Judaism, the state language was Hebrew. There is a logical and historical basis for analyzing the term and confirming the hypothesis.
4) Hebrew Terminology and Biblical Imagery
A) Terminology
Let's bring the term into a form close to the Hebrew grammar, remove the vowels (consonants traditionally belong to God) and highlight the root.
Russian BELMES = without vowels B.L.M.S. = B.L.M. + S.; we immediately have the Hebrew root B.L.Y.M. - nothing.
Note
Wikipedia / L er: “Ancient meaning - an ultra-short version of the sound AND”; according to other versions of E.
General form
Russian BELMES = B.L.M. + S. = Heb. without vowels B.L.Y.M. + C ending or Heb. Ze - this, with vowels BELIMA nothing + Z this; those. BELMEZ = nothing.
Source
* See strong Hebrew 1099, BELIMA.
* See Hebrew and Chald. etymological dictionary for books Old Testament, Vilna, 1878, p. 65.
B) Biblical image
Job 26:7: “He spread the north over the void, hung the earth on nothing (BELIMA is nothing, is not based on anything (Synodal translation)).
There is an expression in Hebrew - BELIMAT PE silence, gagging.
Thus, using the Hebrew terminology and the biblical image, we have received a reasonable content of the term, it can be thought and carried out with it logical operations of thinking (analysis, synthesis, etc.) in the system of general ideology (religion) and terminology. The word "tied" to the sacred language of Judeo-Christianity, in contrast to the proposed inexplicable Turkish and Tatar etymology.

Not to understand a belmes (not to understand)
"Bilmez" in Tatar means: ignoramus, nothing knowledgeable person(more precisely, "bilmez" - "he does not know").Communicating with the Tatars, the Russians often heard the word "bilmez" from them when someone's complete ignorance was revealed. It is clear how this half-Russian, half-Tatar proverb eventually developed.
