Chingis Khan VS Chinggis Khan?
« on: 20 February 2021, 02:49:29 »
I'm seeing conflicting spellings about Jade Falcon Khan Malvina Hazen's self-given title. While I've only read Children of Kerensky and Hour of the Wolf, both by Pardoe, those books consistently spell the title with a single "g"; according to Sarna's editors who are more familiar with Dark Age/early ilClan-era sources than I currently am, it's spelled with two, at least in BattleTech: Legends.

Which is the correct spelling of the title? Or are they both correct?

The title comes from Ghengis Khan, and has historically been transliterated as Chinggis, Chingis, Jenghiz, or Jinghis.  So, either works, from a historical perspective.
