Manchu language and a word

[ancalimon]

I know it's a long shot but does anyone here know anything about Manchu language? I've read that there were less than 10 native speakers left.

I need to know what these word mean in Manchu:

bogodai, bogodoi, bogodaga

from this page:

%B73-35-Latin" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">man-han.com/wiki/index.php?title=%E6%BB%A1%E6%96%87%E8%80%81%E6%A1%A3%C2%B7%E5%%B73-35-Latin

does any of these word look familiar to you in you language and/or dialect?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchu_language

The same word (bododai) exists in Romanian as peoples surnames and I was told that it could mean something close to "gift of God?"

I am also curious about the Manchu language.

[pantigin]

bogedai=wheat or corn in uighur language

[H. İhsan Erkoç]

That is Bughday in Old Turkic and Buğday in Modern Turkish.

I found only one possible relation between manchu and hungarian.
In manchu sargan means wife. sarkany in hungarian means dragon.

[ancalimon]

In which languages do we find the following words and in which meaning?

BOG (God? , feces?)
OD (fire?, holy fire?)
AY~AI (moon? female?)

[H. İhsan Erkoç]

Bog is Russian and other Slavic languages for "God". It is related with Medieval Iranic Bag.

Turkic Od is, I think, related with Japanese Ute meaning "Fire".

[hjernespiser]

От is fire and ай is moon in Tuvan.

[sillentregrets]

In Mongolian:

Bog - small livestock (sheep and goat. While large livestock, horse, cow and camel are called Bod ).
Od - Star

AJI has the same meaning : moon, according to Astvatzaturian's Hun word list, what I translated to the Hunnic language topic.

bogodai, bogodoi, bogodaga
In Mongolian buudai (corn) or budaa (also corn). Seems that is what mean.

I am descendent of Manchu mixed Mongol of previous Qin Dynasty. We use Mandarin, now we are getting back to Mongol and Manchu languages. There are still 30000 plus people use Manju language. Anyone speak Manju language in Russia and countries that ended in -stan?
