This article is about a person, place, or concept whose name is originally rendered in the Mongolian script; however the article does not have that version of its name in the article's lead paragraph. Anyone who is knowledgeable enough with the original language is invited to assist in adding the Mongolian script.
For more information, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Mongolia-related articles). |
[edit] Naive interpretation
-
- You're welcome to write a better explanation. But just to remove one item from the list without any replacement doesn't look like a good idea. Not to mention that quite a few sources (eg. this one, and this) offer exactly the explanation as in the article. Btw.: The links above show the flame only with one tongue, and not the "gurvan khelt" one like the soyombo. It would be interesting to learn when and why the "past, present, and future" meaning was added. --Latebird (talk) 20:35, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

- There also must be some text sources available? That would make it easier to verify. I think that symbols of this kind may have a buddhist origin, but that doesn't mean they can't have a valid interpretation in tengriism as well. The two religions are so strongly connected in Mongolia that it is often difficult to separate their influences. --Latebird (talk) 21:20, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
