Abstract
One of Ais’ ancestors was a huge and strong man who weight about 100 kilos. When in 1771 the Kalmyk Ubashi khan set out for Dzungaria, people of the Tsagan Nur region decided to stay in Kalmykia. However, 12 men of the Nornyakhn followed the khan. Ais’ ancestor chased those men, caught them at a lake and by force brought them back. The Nornyakhn has since been the largest clan in the vicinity.
