ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ
Mongolian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Classical Mongolian ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ (moŋɣol), from Middle Mongol ᠮᠣᠩᠬᠣᠯ (moŋqol).
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 ethonym from the personal name of the Rouran Khaganate's progenitor, who is known in Chinese-language sources as 木骨閭 (MC muwk kwot ljo);[1][2] the original Tuoba word, meaning 首禿 "bald-headed" and cognate with Middle Mongol [script needed] (muqular, “bald, hornless”) (> Mongolian мухар (muxar, “bald, hornless, tailless; blunt, dull”)), has been reconstructed as muqo-lo ~ moqo-lo by Vovin (2007: 200-202)[3] and mʊqʊlɪ by Shimunek (2017: 147-148).[4]
