Thank you so much, Abstrakt, this is very helpful! I sometimes take entire months off, so don't worry for taking a few days to respond. And yes you're right, the Shunzhi Emperor is referred to as ""šidzu eldembure hūwangdi"" in Manchu documents written after his death, just like he is named Shizu 世祖 in equivalent Chinese documents. These are the emperor's temple names. But I've seen a few Shunzhi-era documents in Manchu, and the date is marked as ""ijishūn dasan, Xth year, Xth month, etc."" Since the Wiki conventionally use reign names to refer to Ming and Qing emperors, ""ijishūn dasan"" should be good. I also find that form more interesting than ""šidzu eldembure hūwangdi,"" which after all is a transcription from the Chinese (""šidzu"" = Shizu 世祖) followed by a generic title that applies to all Manchu emperors! Thank you again for the help! Cheers,   "
