This ebook, now again in print having been unavailable for a few years, is likely one of the most crucial contributions to Turkic and Mongolic linguistics, and to the contentious 'Altaic theory'. Proponents of the idea carry that Turkish is a part of the Altaic kinfolk, and that Turkish hence exists in parallel with Mongolic and Tungusic-Manchu. regardless of the fact of this conception, Gerard Clauson's erudite and vigorously expressed perspectives, established as they have been on a amazing wisdom of the lexicon of the Altaic languages and his extraordinary paintings within the box of Turkish lexicography, keeps to command admire and deserve awareness.

The early history of the Turkish-speaking tribes 17 When the Türkü returned to the steppes and destroyed the power of the Juan-juan they quickly assumed their mantle and, at the height of their power, controlled not only the whole of Inner and Outer Mongolia but also settled areas far to the west. † The memorandum on this confederation in the Sui Shu (translated in Liu op. cit. p. 127) does not inspire confidence. It seems to be not so much a list of the confederation itself as a list of all the nomadic peoples who were subject to the Türkü at the height of their power.
At about this time a number of Southern Huns submitted and entered China and were organized in a number of small groups by the Wei government, each unit under its own headman and the whole under a chief headman. Beyond the frontier the political vacuum was gradually filled by the Hsien-pei who spread their influence south into Inner Mongolia. It was at this time that the Tavğaç (in Chinese scription t’o-pa) clan first assumed the leadership of the whole Hsien-pei confederation. D. 265 the Wei and the other two kingdoms collapsed and China was nominally reunited under the Chin dynasty.
