a It certainly means “universal true love,” referring to Temujin’s peaceful leadership b It literally means “Chinese emperor,” showing that Temujin already controlled China c Its meaning is debated, but “universal ruler” or “supreme ruler” is likely d Its meaning is “son of Yesügei,” identifying Temujin through his father’s name 9 Why were Mongol armies able to travel and attack so effectively?
