The Mongolian form of the name is « Cinggis », in Chinese transcription -t; Eli Ch'êng-
chi-ssû, in Tibetan Chin-gis, and Cät giz in the dialect of the Moghols of Afghanistan (RAMSTEDT,
Mogholica, 25). The Persian transcriptions are Cingiz (in Güyük's letter to Innocent IV, in
Juwaini, in Wassâf), Cingiz in Rasidu-'d-Din (in BEREZIN'S edition; cf. also Bl, II, 1; the
spelling r > Cinggiz adopted in BLOCHET'S edition seems to have less authority). For lack of
a 5, the Arabs transcribed it « Jingiz » (for instance, an-Näsâwi) ; the Syriac chroniclers, « Singiz ». The Armenian transcription is « Cangz », which accounts for « Changuis » and « Canguis » in Hethum (Hist. des Croisades, Arm., II, 14.8 sq., 284 sq.). Ricoldo da Montecroce's « Camiustan » is probably to be read « Canguiscan » (not « Cangiuscan » as in ZARNCKE, Der Priester Johannes, II, 103, nor even « Canjus can » as in Y, I, 247). San Antonino's « Chingiscan rectius Tamgius Can » is based on a misreading of the type proposed by YULE and ZARNCKE. The same may be said of Chaucer's « Cambuscan ». Both Plan Carpine (Wy, 52-53, 58, 84) and Rubrouck (IWy, 186, 222,
223) give « Chingis » (with ch- — e"-). Marignolli has « Cingwis » (Wy, 543). We find in
George Pachymeres (Corpus Script. hist. byzant., Bonn, 1835, I, 347). The meaning of « Linggis » will be discussed further on.
BIRTH OF CHINGHIZ-KHAN. — The early history of Chinghiz-khan is full of uncertainties and contradictions, beginning at his very birth. Two points, however, seem securely established : that the future Chinghiz-khan was the son of Yäsügäi-ba'atur and Hö'äiün-äkä (> Slün-äkä; a name formed with the feminine suffix -lün, and not to be explained as ä'ülän, « cloud », despite ERDMANN,
