The comments are as rancid as usual Btw. If I told them how to change their minds, it would be called fedposting
minus-squarecfgaussian@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up13·4 months agoIsn’t the etymology of the word “horde” derived from the Turkic/Mongolic word “ordu” meaning an army camp? The way it was adopted into Western languages with a negative connotation is definitely orientalist though.
minus-squareREEEEvolution@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up10·edit-24 months agoHonestly dunno, when I read the thread title I vaguely remembered that The Golden Horde called itself Ulug Ulus in some old turkish dialect, looked it up and gave my memory a headpat. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ulus Seems like “Horde” comes from “Ordu” tho. And actually refers to a singular clan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orda_(organization) edit: I was derping, you wrote the last bit already. Leaving mine up for the link.
