Mongolsproposed
The people, and the book reaches for them exactly once — over archery. 1-197 finds thumb-guards among the Chukchee whose owners "could not exactly tell their use," and reads them as evidence for the Mongolian release, the draw that hooks the string on the thumb, "perhaps … used similarly to those of the Mongolian archers." Nothing else in the corpus is about Mongols.
The book never spells the noun Mongols; only the adjective is printed, and it does double duty.
