Sun
Nara
original phonetics: "納刺" (na-la), representing the Mongolian word for the sun. The extra characters in the transcription likely represent phonetic markers for vowel length or tone.

Heaven
Tenggeri
original phonetics: "騰革力" (teng-ge-li). This term refers to the sky or the supreme sky deity in Inner Asian traditions.

Thunder
Tenggeri kündürne
Literally "The sky thunders." The Chinese headword 鼓響 (gǔ xiǎng) literally means "drum sound," a poetic way to describe thunder. The phonetic gloss "勤堵難" (qin-du-nan) corresponds to the Mongolian verb for thundering.

Moon
Sara
original phonetics: "撒刺乞" (sa-la-qi), representing the Mongolian word for the moon.
