Talk:Sagaan Ubgen

Statue?
The Russian article links this picture: File:Belyjstarec.jpg, but I can't tell from the Commons description if it is Sagaan Ubgen. Lady of  Shalott  03:04, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Belyi Staretz, or Belyj Starec in this case, is a transliteration of Белый Старец, the Russian name per of Sagaan Ubgen.  See Starets and &mdash; well &mdash; белый.  One of the other names from that encyclopaedia entry (which has been copied in several places on the WWW it seems, including  for example) is in Kalmyk Oirat (калм.), for some reason that I haven't worked out yet.  The article makes no other direct mention of Kalmykia, although a quick Google Images search turns up plenty of pictures on the WWW of statues of Цаган Авга/Цаган Аав there.

 * By the way, that's the statue in front of the Golden Temple in Elista. Uncle G (talk) 10:59, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

more Kalmyk names
According to, whose reputation for accuracy I haven't determined, , that I haven't read (but whose author appears to be ), lists Джилийн эзэн, Джилийн Нойон, Цаган овген, Цаган авга, Газрын эзэн, Делкян Цаган овген, Делкян эзен, and Когшин Богд as additional Kalmyk names. A few non-scholarly sources (such as ) repeat the list, but I prefer to use myself. Not having read it, I haven't added these names (and their translations which are also apparently supplied) to the article. Uncle G (talk) 13:31, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
