247. GREEN HILL   739

Ch'ü-êhr-chih = Kürji, in YS, 3, anno 1252, and : S, A Ku-êrh-chih = GürjI, in YS, 120, 7 a. Both really represent Gurji, « Georgian », but the Chinese knew the name through Mongol documents, and the Uiguro-mongol writing does not distinguish between k and g. The Mongols entered Georgia for the first time early in 1221 (cf. Br, I, 294, 299).

The name of the Georgians in Iranian was formerly Gurj, with a parallel form Curl; the element Î (-z) is a suffix of origin, and the element gur- seems to be the outcome of a more ancient vi-; cf. Mi, 421.

Guzerat, Skr. Gurjara, Gurjara-râslra > H. and Mahr. Gujarat. Raidu-'d-Din writes "If Guzarât (ELLIoT, Hist. of India, I, 67). With the usual conflict of vowels in the Pollan Mss., it is not impossible that the original form was « Guçurat » or even « Guçarat ». On the name and its application, cf. YULE, Hobson-Jobson2, 388; DAMES, Barbosa, I, 108; Fe, 705. Fra Mauro writes « Guçirat » (not « Guzirat » or « Cvcirat » as in Zu, 42 and HALLBERG, 216-217).

Guzerat has a notice in 1225 in Chao Ju-kua, under the name j   q Hu-ch'a-Ia, which,
if taking into account the pronunciation of the author, strictly represents *Gujarat (cf. HR, 92-93). Chao Ju-kua, like Polo, mentions among its native products indigo and cotton.
