About

The word "多尔衮" is formed through phonetic transliteration of the Manchu name "Dorgon" into Chinese characters, where each character is selected solely for its sound: "多" (duō) approximates "do", "尔" (ěr) approximates "r", and "衮" (gǔn) approximates "gon", creating a sound-based representation without semantic consideration.
