Etymology

[edit]

From Russian Байка́л (Bajkál, Baikal), from Buryat Байгал нуур (Bajgal nuur, Lake Baikal), perhaps ultimately from the Turkic *bāy (rich), and *köl, *kȫl (lake),[1][2] with reference to the abundance of high-quality salmon in the lake. The Turkic origin is rejected by Vasmer.[3] Native Mongolic origins have also been proposed.

From this wall they ſtretch themſelves northward as far as the river Amoor; and from the Amoor, weſtward, to the Baykail ſea ; where they border with the territories of the Kontayſha, or prince of the black Kalmucks. On the fouth, they are bounded by a nation called Tonguts, among whom the Delay Lama has his residence.
