Tarduş
Meaning:
Tarduş, western wing of the Turkic Khaganate
Tarduş denoted a territorial and military grouping, not necessarily a single tribe. The identification of Sir Tarduş with Chinese historical records of Xueyantuo (薛延陀) is disputed, as is the proposed derivation of the name from Tardu, the name of a western Turkic ruler.

A similar sentence occurs in KČ E2: bil]gä Köl Ič Čor Tarduš bodunug eti ayu olortï, by Tekin rendered as “... reigned ruling and governing the Tarduš people”. Both interpretations are perfectly possible but we follow Tekin if no unambiguous Old Turkic examples for an auxiliary olor- are brought into the discussion. -
