At the point I'm at, he's gotten all of his dogs from local Muslim populations. Hedin often let his dogs sleep in his tent. I never met an Uzbek who would consider letting a dog into the house. I did know plent of Uzbeks with dogs, but they seemed like something one would have for home security, herding, etc., but never companionship.

That's doubly interesting. Much as I suspected, the Tatar word for road is ёл (almost identical to the Uzbek yo'l). It can kind of mean travel in a phrase like the Uzbek "Oq yo'l" (literally: "White road"). I don't remember my Uzbek suffixes or word construction too well (and honestly, I never learned that much of it in the first place), so I can't really tell you what "dosh" means. I have seen Yoldash (or Yoldosh or Yuldash or, you get the picture...) translated by more than just Hedin as "travelling companion." I would suspect that the Tatar version has the "comrade" connotation to it. "Travelling companion" really isn't all that different, but can (and apparently did at one time) have a pretty literal meaning. Hmmm…

As far as I remember from my [long] living in Tataria, yuldash meant "comrad"[E], or "tovarisch"[R]. That’s an interesting interpretation.
