URTUULY

The Golden Lineage · Алтан ураг

Ikh Mongol only, 1162-1259. Every person here is named in the Secret History and carries the id data/shm/entities.json uses, so the section index and this file are one record. imageId points at data/images/index.json, which carries the credit, the licence and the `remove` note saying how far the image stands from the person. A person with no imageId has no surviving depiction this project has sourced - that is a fact about the record, not a gap in the file. relations[] is the Алтан ураг: father/mother/consortOf edges, each with the section it is read from and its own confidence. Jochi's father edge is marked disputed - the Secret History itself records the accusation - so a genealogy can draw that one line differently instead of asserting it. Nothing is rendered from this file yet - see research/HISTORY.md 7.1 and 7.2. Mongolian strings have NOT had native-speaker review.
