 The Šine-Usu Inscription is the most voluminous one with 50 lines among the

Uyghur inscriptions. Like Tes (750) and Tariat (752-753) inscriptions, the Šine-Usu

Inscription also was erected in 759 in honor of Moyun Čor, the second qaghan of the

Uyghur Qaghanate (r. 747-759). It is still on the spot in two pieces.

Most parts of the Šine-Usu Inscription are now well understood. However, the

south and west sides are heavily damaged and there are many illegible and/or

incomprehensible words and sentences in these sides. One of them is the letter group

ricwgdib  bIdgẄčIr in the 3rd line on the south side. The sentences containing this

letter group have been differently interpreted by the researchers. All of the readings

hitherto are problematic.

The author would like to regard the letter group ricwgdib  bIdgẄčIr as

a spelling error for ricwgidb  bdIgẄčIr and suggests to read it as äbdigüči är

‘soldier who recruits/drafts soldier’ (< äbdi- ‘to gather, to pick up’ + -güči ‘participle

suffix’). There are at least three examples of spelling error related to the position of

the letter i  I in the inscriptions. The sentences in question can be now read as beš yegirmikä …… tayγan költä

teriltim. äbdigüči är anta ï<d>t[ïm. är k]älti “On the 15th (of the month) …… we

(lit. I) gathered at the Lake of Tayγan. I sent the recruiting soldiers from there. [The

soldiers] came”.
