Note 32 — Chapter I · AN ACCOUNT of THE KINGDOM OF BOKHARA. (continued 2)
Reading edition
The Uzbeks themselves believe the Kalmuks and Kutghun Uzbeks one tribe. In their native seats, a colony desiring to migrate took the name of “Kutghurn,” which means, “we go;” and the greater portion which remained were afterwards called “Kalmuk,” which signifies, “we stop:” such, at least, is the popular belief and tale of the Uzbeks.
