Thank you for the URL. I pick up this... dichotomy:

>Karasu Bazar (Belogorsk)

Is this <kara> vs <belo> opposition incidental or
(made) on purpose? (I mean in the (possible) context
of colors meaning hierarchy aspects within kaganates.)
I hope I ain't wrong assuming these terms mean "black"
and "white."
