Vasilyev are in the works analized the origin of the etymology of tatars and nuucha, indicate the participation of the tatars in the ethnogenesis of the yakuts. For example Yuri Ivanovich Vasiliev refers in this issue that father Allay in the legends name is Tatar Taima and sees the reason for migration to the river Middle Lena, the legendary forefather of the yakuts in the war of khitan (tatars) and nuits-ji (manchu).
