Notes

 

1      Hsiung-nu in Chinese is one of the Chinese derogatory monikers for Huns, with a meaning “ferocious slaves”. There were more respectful names for Huns in Chinese, like “western nomads”, etc. Chinese also had plenty of derogatory terms for themselves too, but, in the scientific literature, unlike the “Hsiung-nu”, these terms are not used to designate Chinese.

2      Tocharians (Yüeh-chih) Yu-chi

3      Burial rite

Scythians

Eastern Huns

The following is a citation from http://www.silk-road.com/artl/minyaev1.shtml, related to 2-1 c. BC Ordos area cemetery:

The Hsiung-nu burials are, as a rule, individual, supine, with the limbs extended abd oriented in the 90 per cent of cases toward the northern sector. They can by divided into several groups:

1) those at the level of the earliest horizon with no inner grave or overgrave structure,

2) in a pit,

3) in a pit with a coffin and no overgrave structure,

4) in a pit with a coffin placed in a timber frame and no overgrave structure

5) in a pit with a wooden coffin placed in a stone cist and an overgrave stone setting,

6) in a pit with a coffin placed in a timber frame and with an overgrave setting ,

7) in a pit up to 10-15 m deep with a drams, a coffin, a timber frame and a several-logs-high chamber enclosed in a square stone setting of a big size, with the pit petitioned by four or five stone walls throughout its depth. In the three latter groups the coffin or the timber frame are often lined with vertical stone slabs and in some instances the pit is filled with similar slabs.

The burials with different types of structures are found next to each other and in some cases form chronologically integral complexes. The grave goods from different burials are typologically inseparable and give no ground for chronological classification. The main types of the Hsiung-nu burial structures have nothing to do with the sex or age composition of the population

 

Western Huns

4      This is a nice pearl of the racial attitude found in a multitude of scientific works. Romans, Goths, and Persians are beautiful and merciful blessings, and Huns, Avars, and Tatars are ugly and cruel menace. That did not prevent multitudes on both sides from marrying each other and producing mixed populations, including attractive offsprings to become Caesars, Basileuses, Kings, Tsars, Khans and Sultans. The speculation on 'bulgha' is another example of a scientific pearl, not unlike the Chinese’ selection of the hieroglyphs to denote a negative attitude. But in this scientific thought we go a step further, proclaiming a negative meaning for a self-ethnonym.

5      One of a number of versions that can be found in the literature.

6      The results of the archeological studies in the territories seized by Muscovite and then Russian Tsardoms starting in the 1650-es, continuously settled at the time for 12 centuries by the descendants of the ancient Bolgars, is a better evidence than the pseudo-scientific “probably” guesstimates. An existing Bolgarian group, the Balkarians, who were relatively isolated from the rest of the Bolgars, and still carry the Bolgar ancestry in its name and appearance.

7      The term Bulgar is still awaiting a qualified investigator. The simplest suggestion is by M. Zakiev: “Ethnonym Bulgars means ‘river people’, we meet ethnonym with the same meaning, Suar, who lived next to Bulgars.”

8      There are conflicting opinions on the attribution of the Syanbian language, and on the meaning of “Türk”. A. Mukhamadiev, analyzing legends of the Turanian coins, connects tur with the ancient Turkic word tura and toru - 'state', adding another potential concept for the etymology of the “Türk”: http://s155239215.onlinehome.us/turkic/33WritingTuranian/TurPismrEn1-9.htm.
