Tatabı
Meaning:
Tatabi (Kumo Xi), an early northeastern Asian people
Tatabı is conventionally identified with the Kumo Xi (庫莫奚), later called Xi (奚) in Chinese sources. They were a northeastern steppe people closely associated with, but distinct from, the Qıtañ (Khitans). Because the Chinese names do not phonetically match Tatabı, identification with the Didouyu (地豆于) has also been proposed. Tatavı is an alternative transcription of the same name.
