Wiki

lar' is the plural suffix in turkic languages, so 'Coverlar' is translated simply as 'Covers'.

Some interesting facts about the instruments and languages:

'Kon Togethy': kon' means a horse, but I cannot translate 'togethy', maybe it's an idiom. Bass and rhythm sections in this song is played on modulated jaw harp. Father Gorry claims he has a physical modulating harp, but nobody have seen it.

The most common instrument in this album is top-shur: a turkic 2-string dombra. Also igil is common: two strings too, but played with a bow, and strings are like a bow's too. That's why its sound is so overtoned.

Languages are turkic, the Altai family, except buriat in Hododoo and Aduushanai, russian in Mission Impossible, Crow+Crucian and Arctic Fox, yakut in Aiylham and unknown in Kon' Togethy.

Тhroat singing styles are common to Tuvan's: kargyraa, khoomei and sygyt, and trans-siberian dzarin.
