Dybo (2014) has Long (瀧), which she reconstructs as *roŋ "headquarters," derived from Turkic *orun s.m. This, however, goes against the character's semantic meaning, "dragon," and the archeological findings. The Xuŋa were dragon worshipers and findings from the city's remains show a large number dragon-themed objects.
