[Footnote *: See the notice on Tha-tha-toung-o, the Ouogour
minister of Tchingis, in Abel Remusat's 2d series of
Recherch. Asiat. vol. ii. p. 61. He taught the son of
Tchingis to write: "He was the instructor of the Moguls in
writing, of which they were before ignorant;" and hence the
application of the Ouigour characters to the Mogul language
cannot be placed earlier than the year 1204 or 1205, nor so
late as the time of Pa-sse-pa, who lived under Khubilai. A
new alphabet, approaching to that of Thibet, was introduced
under Khubilai. - M.]
