ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ
Mongolian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Classical Mongolian ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ (mongɣol), from Middle Mongol ᠮᠣᠩᠬᠣᠯ (mongqol).
Compare also Buryat монгол (mongol), Written Oirat ᡏᡆᡊᡎᡆᠯ (mongɣol), Kalmyk моңһл (moñğl); Tuvan моол (mool), Khakas моол (mool), Southern Altai моҥол (moŋol); Jurchen [script needed] (*moŋgu), Manchu ᠮᠣᠩᡤᠣ (monggo); etc.
Sükhbataar (1992) and de la Vaissière (2021) derive this ethnonym from the Rouran Khaganate's progenitor's personal Tuoba name, which is transliterated as 木骨閭 (MC muwk kwot ljo) and glossed as 首禿 "bald-headed" in Chinese-language sources.[1][2] The original Tuoba word has been proposed to be cognate with Middle Mongol [script needed] (muqular, “bald, hornless”) (> Mongolian мухар (muxar, “bald, hornless, tailless; blunt, dull”)) and reconstructed as muqo-lo ~ moqo-lo by Vovin (2007: 200-202)[3] and mʊqʊlɪ by Shimunek (2017: 147-148).[4]
