Hun tamga

[edit]

It is not known what was depicted on the bone that was interpreted as a Hun tamga. The Tanghuyao recorded the Hun tamga, and it has nothing to do with the posted logo. The Hun tamga looked as letter U. Citation from Yu.Zuev's translation, p 102:

"Horses [of the tribe] Hun 84* 匈奴 (Kün), common breed with Khu-se's (Koksa ?) horses. [They are located] in present tutukdom Gao-lan 85*, and their branched-off clans are in the Gao-lan-[shan] 86* mountains and May-tszün-tszi-[shan] 87*. Tamga [35] U ∩" [1] Barefact (talk) 07:55, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Abovementioned assertion that 'tam' is Turkish, is nonsense. Tam is ARABIC and means 'complete'. The word 'tamga' can be Altaic (although I doubt it), the use of the damga (ideographic/character) system is very likely to be of Chinese origin ( W. Thomsen 1893). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiterrorist2011 (talkcontribs) 15:41, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This page is invaded by pantutkism. No mention of sarmatian (there are a lot of sources...) Nor parthian monograms. They should have their own chapter but all we can see here is the insistence on the Turkic origin of all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.177.46.41 (talk) 09:21, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Tamga cannot be a seal, a stamp. (See: Cat: tamga (seal)). Tamga is a sign, representing a group of people, clan, tribe. A sign can be used on a stamp, a seal. Elekes Andor (talk) 10:16, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
