I remember reading that Vikings used ships rented in Khazar Khanagate to attack targets in Mediterranean as a form of disguise. They payed the rent with things they captured during the raids.
- d--b 9y agoThanks, I just googled this. Apparently it's Khaganate rather than Khanagate.
- posterboy 9y agoWith old names it might be both, I guess, depending on who you ask. I wonder, has khan any to do with Kahn (ger. ship).
- kingofpandora 9y agoIt doesn't. "kh" should be read as a single sound (Arabic or Persian خ) not a sequence of two sounds.
- posterboy 9y agoboth khan and kahn come out as british can't modulo t does, I guess, though noone knows what it sounded like originally.
- Grustaf 9y agoNo they don't, kh is an aspirated k sound. In any case that is not what was mistyped in the original post, it was the second and third syllables that hade changed places.
