STUDIES IN PHILOLOGY
O. K. Bavaeva. Translation features of the poetry (poems by David N. Kugultinov) — 32

systems and linguistic pictures of the world impose the necessity to use transformational methods such as: concretization, explication, compensation. In some cases the translators make use of pragmatic adaptation to fully express the poet’s ideas in the
Russian language.
Keywords: Pragmatic adaptation, compensation, explication, equivalency, syntactical parallelism, amphibrach, transferred
epithet
V. Z. Tserenov. On the origin and meaning of the name Djangar — 38
P. S. Pallas was the first who tried to determine an origin and a meaning of the name Djangar. Well-known Russian, Soviet and
foreign researchers, from A. A. Bobrovnikov to others, suggested that this name originated from Persian title “djihanguir” —
“conqueror of the world”. However, the image of Djangar includes religious and mythological beliefs of different epochs. The
meaning of name relates with an ancient motif of orphan, alone hero. In opinion of the author of this article, the name ǰangγar
ascends to proto-Turkic *jaŋɨŕ — “alone, single, only” and represents an example of early contact lexicon of Turkic and Mongolian
languages.
Keywords: Djangar, Turkic languages, Mongolian languages, motif of orphan, alone hero

Among the many seals of the Kalmyk nobility of the 18th–19th centuries, the imprints of which found on the letters, there are seals

article is to introduce the scientific research data on two Kalmyk seals in Sanskrit and offer a hypothesis of their origin. Materials
used were recently published letters of Kalmyk rulers, as well as samples of seals from the “Catalogue of stamps from Ladakh”.
The study clarified the content of the inscriptions on the stamps and proposed a hypothesis about their origin.

Shiite Islam.
