Kurultai
text:
A kurultai was a political and military council of ancient Mongol and Turkic chiefs and khans. The root of the term is from the Proto-Mongolic verb *kura-, *kurija- 'to collect, to gather' whence khural 'meeting, assembly' in Mongolic languages. From this same root arises the Mongolian word хурим khurim 'feast', which originally referred to large festive gatherings on the steppe, but it is now used mainly in the sense of 'wedding'.
