[edit] Name of Entry

Should this entry be renamed to "Morin khuur"? Since the instrument is of Mongolian origin, and is of more significance to Mongolian culture than to Chinese culture, it seems that the Mongolian name should be the primary designation rather than the Chinese name. -- Takwish 18:48, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
