Thank you for the TL

Keeping it as 'yurt' feels fitting

 

[riseikou]

Thank you for the hard work, TL! I am also fine with "yurt" and appreciate the process note.

 

[Gem-Bug]

Thanks for the upload! I appreciate your note pages and the effort you're putting in

Many thanks for picking this up!

One question though. Isn't Elgai Noyan actually Qadan of the Jalayir whose son was named Elgai? I imagine his son will have a slightly different name here.

The Persian chronicler Rashid al-Din apparently mistook the name Ilüge Qa'adan as one person instead of father and son.

Spoiler

By the way, nice to see the future darugachi or governor of Persia, Arghun Aqa, having a backstory of his own in this volume. Funnily, enough, little Hulagu would later have a grandson also named Arghun, who would become the fourth Ilkhan.

Thank you for your witty analysis there! It is true that Rashid al-Din Hamadani initially mistook Elgäi and Qa'adan as one person.
According to the Yuanshi (which Tomato Soup-sensei probably used as a primary source) and The Secret History of the Mongols, it is explicitly mentioned that they were actually not related, and both served during different eras of the Khans. Elgäi's first son named Elčigidei was mistoken by Rashid al-Din as Ilčidai who was a Qachiun prince and had a son named Qa'adan.
It is cited that Elgäi was trusted with a mandate by Genghis himself to take care of his son, Ögedei. Later, during the era of Möngke or early Kublai, the title was passed on to Elčigidei. Ah, and one more thing, Elgäi and Ilüge are the same person. It's just different language spellings from different sources. The reason why I chose to use 'Elgäi Noyan' is because it was from the primary source, while 'Ilüge' was mentioned later in The Secret History of the Mongols! ^^
(P.S. As I mentioned, 'Noyan' was actually a title for military and civil leaders in the Mongol Empire during the era of Ögedei. Meanwhile, they were called 'Nökör' during the era of Genghis Khan.)

Thank you so much for picking this up! I love the passion and care you pour on the scanlations, even up to small nuances that may be unnoticed by most. The TL notes are a great read as well.

Yurts are yurts.
And thanks to you, you're doing a nice job.

I want to see more of that dimple lady.

Thanks for the translation!
I think you made the right call by translating it as "yurt."

Based on what Ogedei said to Boraqchin, it seems that he's figured out she's behind Tolui's death. Surprisingly, he appears pretty content with the current state of things. I'm very interested in how his character is going to play out.

A bit of research tells me that the Mongolian word for these dwellings is actually ger. Where sources explain the discrepancy at all, they say that yurt came to English via Russian. I'd appreciate the viewpoint of someone closer to this than me.

 

[pataponaccount]

Other than mispelling "Emergancy" this is amazing TL as usual! Thank you!

Wasn't just for these kinds of decisions that he took her as First Wife?
For how he talked to Chagatai earlier seems like he is the type to believe these things are necessary.

It's true! tho actually ger directly tl to home in mongolian while yurt tl to dwelling. Like u said, ppl predominantly use the word yurt bcs western languages adopted the term via Russia, which heavily interacted with the Turkic-speaking nomads of Central Asia. I chose to use yurt just to be more inclusive, since ger usually just known by native. Maybe in the next tl's note page i'll add this as another point of interest question ^^
