Urus - Urus (English spelling) ulus

In Turkish and Mongolian, it originally meant a group of people or a settlement. Later, it came to refer to a larger group of people, and meant a tribe, region, inhabitant, or country. In literature, the term ulus can be found in the Turkic inscription erected in 732, meaning "country." The term "universal Mongolian ulus" can also be found in the Genghis Khan inscription (1225), the oldest literary Mongolian document.

Japanese:

トルコ語、モンゴル語で、もとは人の集まり、集落を意味した。のちに、より大きな人間の集団をさすようになり、部族、地方、住民、あるいは国を意味した。文献的には、732年に建てられた突厥(とっけつ)碑文にも「国」の意味でウルスの用語がみられる。また文語モンゴル語文献としてはもっとも古い「チンギス・ハン碑文」(1225)にも「普(あまね)きモンゴル・ウルス」ということばがみられる。
