Speaking of Kaghanates, I seem to've run across an unreasonable number of versions of this title. Even assuming that g~gh and k~q variation is merely orthographical, I've seen at least three; _qaghan_, _khaqan_ and _khakhan_. Do these represent different Turkic languages? If so, what'd be the ancestral form? Andreas _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
