rétegeibe

Rétégibe is a term that appears in some historical and ethnographic contexts, particularly relating to nomadic groups in Central Asia. Its precise meaning and origin are subjects of scholarly debate, but it is generally understood to refer to a form of social or political organization, or perhaps a specific lineage or clan within a larger tribal confederation.

The term is often encountered in discussions of the Golden Horde and its successor states, as well as in the study of various Turkic and Mongolian peoples. It is thought to be derived from Turkic or Mongolian roots, possibly related to concepts of "layer," "stratum," or "division." This suggests an internal segmentation of a larger group.

Some scholars propose that "rétégibe" denoted a specific administrative or military unit, responsible for a particular territory or function. Others suggest it might refer to a distinct branch of a ruling dynasty or a prominent noble family. The exact social structure and political significance of therétégibe remain areas of ongoing research and interpretation among historians and anthropologists studying the region. Understanding its role is crucial for a complete picture of the complex social dynamics of these historical nomadic societies.
