! It has been pointed out to me that there is a Chinese title of nobility Yiin-w&ng, and that it may be behind the wordsjang-jang. Though the suggestion appears to me improbable, looking to the record of Babur's officer, to the prevalence of sobriquets amongst his people, and to what would be the sporadic appearance of a Chinese title or even class-name borne by a single man amongst them, I add this suggestion to those of my note on the meaning of the words (Index s.h. Muh. 'All). The ^itle fun-wang occurs in Dr. Denison Ross' Three MSS. from Kashgkar, p. 5, v. 5 and translator's preface, p. 14.
