This month I would like to call attention to Ursula George's excellent article "Middle Mongol Grammar for SCA Names" (http://heraldry.sca.org/names/mongolgrammar.html). Middle Mongol or Middle Mongolian was the language spoken between approximately 1200 and 1600 C.E., covering a substantial portion of the SCA's period.

This article is not merely a list of name elements, although it does contain a list of descriptive bynames. It covers the often-neglected topic of Mongol naming patterns and construction, including how to create a descriptive byname, a patronymic byname and a byname based on a tribal/clan name. All patterns set out in this article should be considered registerable.

We ask that Palimpsest formulate wording adding this article in Appendix A of SENA for Mongol names.
