Abstract

V originále

This paper offers selected remarks regarding the implications for the spread of the title khan, khagan and khatun in the languages of Inner Asia. After the introduction in the first part of the article, the questions of the typology of the syllable and ethnolinguistic ambiguity are mentioned in the second part. The third part follows with a brief chronology of the spread and basic forms of the title in Inner Asian languages (Old Turkic and Indo-European, Mongolic and Tungusic; Chinese transcriptions are planned for a separate paper). The next fourth part discusses examples of semantical changes appearing in the process of borrowing to differing cultural contexts. The fifth part focuses on possible sources of the word and its early use in Koguryo and Sino-Korean. It is followed by an interpretation based on past climate change and extensive migration patterns in the final sixth section. A preliminary conclusion points out that the relocation of Koguryo and other people contributed to the spread of possible source-words in north Inner Asia and created conditions for the use of this title by a different (in fact multiethnic) nobility. The second part of the disyllabic title might be partly related to a diminutive marker or marker of deification.
