The term for Longan, Luug-un nidü, is a literal translation of the Chinese "Dragon's Eye." Similarly, the Ginkgo is referred to as "White Fruit" (Chagan jims), following the Chinese nomenclature.

The "Water Chestnut" or "Earth Pear" (Deichi-fur-anchi) refers to various edible tubers found in marshlands or underground. The inclusion of grapes (Üjüm) and walnuts (Janggu) highlights the Central Asian influence on the regional diet, as these crops were famously brought eastward along the Silk Road.

The "Wild Garlic" (Zaisang) and "Chives" (Qogosun) were vital flavorings and vitamin sources for both nomadic and settled populations, often gathered in the wild or grown in small garden plots.
