Ishbara Khagan (Old Turkic: 𐰃𐱁𐰉𐰺𐰀𐰴𐰍𐰣, Ïšbara qaγan, , personal name Ashina Helu - ) (ruled 651–658) was the last khagan of the Western Turkic Khaganate. Name The khagan's underlying Turkic name, transcribed with Chinese characters 賀魯, became a debate among scholars. Gumilyov proposed ''Hallïğ'', meaning "Elevated". Von Gabain proposed name ''Kullïğ'' (slave owner). Gömeç argued for ''Uluğ'' meaning "Great". Meanwhile, Kapusuzoğlu proposed ''Kutluğ'' (Blessed) as his underlying Turkic name. Zuev (1960) linked the Khagan personal name ''Helu'' (< MC *''ɣa-lou'') with the tribal name ''Khallukh'' attested by Persian and Arab writers, and asserted that by the 7th century Helu's tribe was dynastic; later, however, Zuev (2002) proposed that Chinese ''Helu'' reflects [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Duolu
Duolu (Wade–Giles: To-lu; c. 603-651 as a minimum) was a tribal confederation in the Western Turkic Khaganate (c. 581-659). The Turgesh Khaganate (699-766) may have been founded by Duolu remnants. There existed several Chinese transcriptions 咄陸 (Middle Chinese *''tuɑt̚-lɨuk̚'' > Mandarin ''Duōlù''), 咄六 (MC. *''tuɑt̚-lɨuk̚'' > Mand. ''Duōliù''), 都陸 (MC. *''tuo-lɨuk̚'' > Mand. ''Dōulù''), 都六 (MC. ''tuo-lɨuk̚'' > Mand. ''Duōliù''). The Old Turkic name behind those has been reconstructed, variously and with uncertainty, as *''Tör-ok'', *''Turuk'', *''Tuğluq'', ''Tölük'', ''Türük'', and most recently ''Tuğluğ'' (𐱃𐰆𐰍𐰞𐰍) "have flags, have standards".Kenzheahmet. p. 302-304 There is confusion, or possibly connection, with the earlier Onogurs which also means 'ten tribes'. Additionally, Duolu's relation to the Dulo clan of the Bulgars is possible, but not proven. Initially, Western Turks might have organized themselves int ...

It was well-received and has proved to be immensely influential among both scholars and the general public.
