Krisztina Kehl-Bodrogi reports that the Tahtacı identify musahiplik with the first gate (
Âşinalık, peşinelik, and cıngıldaşlık
The value corresponding to the second gate (and necessary to enter the third) is aşinalık ("intimacy," perhaps with God). Its counterpart for the third gate is called peşinelik; for the fourth gate (hakikat, Ultimate Truth), cıngıldaşlık.[3]
