It is interesting that the practice of exogamy was so deeply ingrained with the Mongols that the Tayichiud would consider a match with the Tartars, their greatest enemies (Vladimirtsov, Le regime social pp. 5859). Another version of the ambush is that it was not the intended bridegroom and family who betrayed him, but Tartar mercenaries (juyin) employed as gendarmes by the Jin who set the ambuscade (Rachewiltz, Commentary pp. 300301).

Rachewiltz says that the name of this earlier wife cannot be determined despite many scholarly efforts (Rachewiltz, Commentary p. 313). Ratchnevsky, however, (Genghis Khan pp. 1516, 224) is adamant that her name was Suchigu or Suchikel, sometimes referred to as Koagchin.

Rashids date of 1155 was followed by the early twentieth-century Russian historians Vladimirtsov and Barthold. Pelliot, always a contrarian, proposes the impossibly late date of 1167 (Pelliot, Notes sur Marco Polo i pp. 281288). But the best authorities such as Rachewiltz and Ratchnevsky plump for 1162. See the detailed argumentation in Ratchnevsky, Genghis Khan pp. 1719; Rachewiltz, Commentary pp. 320321.

Gumilev, Imaginary Kingdom p. 143. On the other hand, it has been argued strongly that the Merkit raid is not historical but a folkloric trope, a perennial motif in epic poetry about the theft of women, whether of Europa by Zeus, Helen by Paris or the Princess Sitas seizure in the Hindu epic Ramayana. The raid is one of the prime exhibits in H. Okada, The Secret History of the Mongols, a Pseudo-historical Novel, Journal of Asian and African Studies 5 (1972) pp. 6167 (at . 63). But the theory is unconvincing if only because it makes Chagatais later violent hostility to Jochi on the grounds of his illegitimacy impossible to fathom.

As Rachewiltz sagely remarks, If neither Temujin nor his wife could understand Jamugas poetic riddle, what hope have we, who are so far removed from that culture, to understand what was the real meaning of those words? (Rachewiltz, Commentary p. 442).

The numbers mentioned in the Secret History are unreliable for a number of reasons: 1) the author embellished with poetic licence and routinely inflated the size of armies; 2) the author anachronistically projected back into the twelfth century names, titles, technologies and modalities that belonged to an era fifty years in the future; 3) numbers in Mongol histories have a mystical or symbolic significance and therefore cannot be taken seriously for historical research. See Larry Moses, Legends by Numbers: the symbolism of numbers in the Secret History of the Mongols, Asian Folklore Studies 55 (1996) pp. 7397 and Moses, Triplicated Triplets: the Number Nine in the Secret History of the Mongols, Asian Folklore Studies 45 (1986) pp. 287294.
