Hey altaic fellows! I'm here again! How are you? 
This time I'm here to ask you about a strange language..
In this period I'm doing some studies about some ancient documents, and I came across the following list of word.
I don't know the language, but some of these words seem to me to have some similarities with mongolian, especialy if one assumes an oscillation between "r" and "l" (so.. maybe a dialect?)
What do you think about? Can someone of you recognize them or understand them?
the list is (sorry, i've not the cyrillic transcription of every mongolian word):
kuri = "shepered" (mongolian "gol"?)
myrias = "earth" (mongolian "maltakh" ?)
turuhna = "wind"
yanzi = "king" (mongolian "ündsen"?)
nula = "king" (mongolian "noën" / "noëlokh")
mali = "man" (proto altaic *niari = "young male" ?)
meli = "slave"
kukla = "slave" (proto altaic *kula = "slave" ?)
nashbu = "people" "population"
marhu = "head" (mongolian "malzan"/"maljan", proto altaic *melje = "head" ?)
hamiru = "foot" (mongolian "khemiel" ? "foot" whit the meaning of measure unity?)
saribu = "foot" (mongolian "суурь" ?)
yashu = "land"
hashmar = "falcon"
simbar = "young people" (mongolian "өсвөр"?)
shimdi = "to give"
dakash = "star"
what do you think?
could it be a mongolian dialect, or more in general an altaic language? do you recognize some other words?
