When googling for this word you will get only two sorts of native Mongol hits, one is Bolor Toli (the most popular online English-Mongolian dictionary, from which this was no doubt copied) and the other are English word lists by Mongol children [1 ] [2 ]. None of the non-nominative case forms can be attested. Neither Lessing nor Mongolian Wiktionary (which copies several sources and has various others compounds featuring or ) have this word. тогтоол by itself means 'decision' and шийтгэл means 'punishment' which can too in some contexts translate English 'decision' (for example a court decision on punishing a criminal). From the context of these word lists it is apparent that this is simply a case of a misplaced comma, probably in the source school material (Book 3 Unit 12) these kids copied onto their blogs.
