Jurchen and Manchu rulers also used the title Khan (''Han'' in Manchu language); for example, Nurhaci was called Genggiyen Han.

I don't understand this paragraph: "This title was probably first used by Rouran; maybe the Xianbei used it earlier. At that time it was pronounced Khaghan. The gh sound later weakened and disappeared becoming Khaan in Modern Mongolian. The Secret History of the Mongols clearly distinguishes Khaghan and Khan: only Genghis and his descendants are called Khaghan ("Khan of Khans"); other rulers are referred to as Khan." So Khan was pronounced Khaghan. It later became Khaan. So they are the same thing. But Khagan and Khan are distinct: Khagan is for Genghis ''Khan'' and his descendants; Khan is for other rulers. So the terms Khaghan and Khan coexisted or not?
