【 摘 要 】

This paper investigates the original name of the holy spring Buluk that is located on the right bank of the Yenisei river, not far from the city of Kyzyl. In 2004, the holy spring was renamed Kundustug, although its original name had been Buluk.We provide vocabulary definitions of ‘buluk’ from etymological, toponymical and other dictionaries of Tuvan and counterpoise them with interpretations obtained from local population surveyed in 2011-2012. The author points out the connection between geographical features and the name of holy spring Buluk and analyses written and cartographic documentary sources that confirms the historical name of holy spring. The name reflects the natural features of the arzhaan, which does not freeze completely in winters, and some springs form icing which keeps increasing until spring.The paper also examines derivative micro-toponyms. The location on the north side of the holy spring is called Buluk kyry (Above Buluk), while a place up the Yenisei river called Buluk ustu (Upstream Buluk) and down the river, Buluk Adaa (Downstream Buluk). The area of holy spring Buluk has always been and remains part of the Eerbek village, which, in its turn, currently is part of Kyzyl kozhuun.The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of preserving the original names of geographical objects, which contain unique cultural and historical information. At the moment, the village residents of Eerbek and shepherds of Biche Bayan-Kol are working on restoration of native historical name of holy spring.
