General

This list is 'in beta'. Information is from dictionaries and other sources. Kazakh, Turkish, and Korean glosses are tentative. Comments and corrections welcome. Hover over Green Lettering Green lettering at this site hides a tool tip with glosses, further explanations, etc. Hover cursor to reveal. to see additional information.

The general Mongolian word for 'duck' is Нугас nugas; the word for 'goose' is Галуу galuu; the word for 'swan' is Хун huŋ. In Inner Mongolia the name Хун галуу khuŋ galuu 'swan goose' is also used for the swan.

A domestic duck is known as Тэжээмэл нугас tejeemel nugas and a domestic goose as Тэжээмэл галуу tejeemel galuu.

There are a number of other, more specific terms. The following list is based on the old naming system, plus some names found in ordinary dictionaries (including dictionaries from Inner Mongolia):

Buryat: The Buryat word for duck is Нугаhан nugahan; that for goose is Гахуун gakhuun; that for swan is Хун khun or Хун шубуун khun shubuun 'swan bird'. Teals are known as шүрхы shurkhi and pochards as шунгадаг shungadag or шунгадаг нугаһан shungadag nygahan, again from шунгаха shungakha 'to dive'.

Ornithological naming

The names of the Anatidae have been reworked considerably to satisfy the strict terminological requirement that each genus should have a unique name.

As a subspecies of A. poecilorhyncha, A. p. zonorhyncha is known by the Japanese name カルガモ karu-gamo (軽鴨) 'light-wildduck' (Wikipedia).

As a subspecies of A. poecilorhyncha, A. p. zonorhyncha is known in Chinese as 普通亚种 pǔtōng yàzhǒng 'common subspecies' (Cheng 2000).

Possibly related to манхан maŋkhaŋ, which refers to a white patch on the head or a white blaze on a horse's forehead.

In dictionaries, this word has at least two variant forms, шовгор shovgor and шовхгор shovkhgor, not to mention a type of dog with a pointed nose called шовшгор shovshgor. The form шовтгор shovtgor appears to be mostly found in bird lists. The traditional spelling used here is that given in the large 5-volume Mongolian dictionary, шовгор shovgor.

Согсор sogsor is applied to dishevelled hair that is sticking up, which is a reasonable description of the duck's plumage. However, there is obviously also a connection with other names for the duck, including шовхгор shovkgor and шовгор shovgor.

Шанхат shaŋkhat is a term related to hair. Dictionary definitions range from 'topknot', 'wig' to the hair over a woman's forehead that is often tied into two strands to hang over the temple. The relationship to the Bean Goose is not totally clear.

The term хотгуужин khotguujiŋ is not found in Mongolian dictionaries. It appears to be from the word ходгочин khodogchiŋ which previously had the sense of 'clown', and was possibly the result of a calque on Chinese 丑鸭 chǒu-yā 'clown duck'. Ходгочин khotogchiŋ may have been modified to хотгуужин because of unfamiliarity with the word and misreading of the traditional Mongolian script. Superficially, the name looks like хот khot = 'mane, skirt, stomach', гуужих guujikh 'to moult', thus 'mane moulter'.

The word Чөрх chörkh has been pressed into service in ornithological Mongolian for the genus Histrionicus. It has the literal meaning 'cow's nose ring' and is not found in dictionaries with the meaning 'duck'.

The word дөр dör refers to a cow's nosering. This is possibly related to the peculiar shape of the bill.

The word буйл buil refers to a camel's wooden nosepeg. This is highly suggestive of a link with the Mongolian name, Дөрт нугас dört nugas 'cow's nosering', which may be related to the peculiar shape of the bill. However, the word also means 'gums (of teeth)' or the part of a blade near the handle. As such, it quite possibly refers to the characteristic swelling near the base of the bill of the Velvet Scoter.

From the original collocation of Бохио нугас bokhio nugas 'untidy / clumsy / dirty duck', бохио bokhio can now by itself be used to mean 'merganser, goosander'.

Халтар khaltar is a general term for red or black spots on a black/brown background.
