Name question

What source are we using, to say that Doquz was also known as Oroqina? Hulagu had multiple wives, is there perhaps some confusion from this? --El on ka 05:36, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

None of my books on the Mongols mentions an “Oroqina.” The Encyclopaedia of Islam, the Encyclopaedia Iranica, JSTOR, and Google Books return nothing. Perhaps it is misspelled. Perhaps someone familiar with Mongolian can identify the form. Until this is resolved, it would be best to remove it from the article. Aramgar (talk) 17:24, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

this is probably the source used (unless it's the other way round?), as the article here uses partially identical wording. All the other Google results seem to be Wikipedia mirrors. --Latebird (talk) 07:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The text in the link above seems to refer to Organa Hatum (and also gives a possible hint of where a confusion with Doquz Qatun could stem from). Strange how one link says they were Muslims, and the other that they were Christians, though. Yaan (talk) 15:40, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yaan: Excellent work. Aramgar (talk) 16:19, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It took me a while, and without latebirds link I would have been left completely clueless :) . Yaan (talk) 16:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orakina can't be Doquz khatun. She was from Oirat tribe. --Enerelt (talk) 02:43, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
