"FOG" DITCH DUG TRIBES FOG IN XIV-XV CENTURIES

Abstract

This article is devoted to the history of medieval hillfort Syganak irrigation. An analysis of the available sources of opinions allowed the author to name some of the irrigation ditches. It turned out that the name "Tumanaryk", is it not, nor tumen′, Tyumen and tômen (in Kazakh). Its original name was "Tumanaryk", because in those days, some ХІV-ХV centuries, around the site of the Tumancy tribe lived Syganak, who dug aryk. Therefore the aryk and got its name "Fog aryk". Russian explorers called it "Tyumen", while the local Kazakhs "tômen" arykom.
