Johár, sometimes also Javáhír, a district in Kamáon . . . . . . . جوهر Arab.
"Jewel." The name given to Johár by the Húnias (a Tibetan tribe) is Kiénpum; the Joháris
are called Kienókpa."
Junagárh, properly Yávana-gádha,¹
in Gujrát, Lat. 21°, Long. 70° . . . . . . . . جونا گده properly यवनगड Sanksr.
"Greek town." The Greeks, and the Western nations in general, were called in Sanskrit
Yávana. The transition of y into j (phonetically speaking) has many analogies, as, Latin
Johannes, Ital. Giovanni, Engl. John; Latin juvenis, Ital. giovine, &c. &c. For the change
of the syllables, "ava" into "ô," or "u," compare Dolabári, Dolagiri, Gangótri, &c.
The denomination "Greek" probably refers to the Greek-Bactrian empire.
Jurájpur, in Audh, Lat. 27°, Long. 80° . . . . . . . . . . . . . . جدراج پور Hind.
"Princes town." Juráj=júva-rája, young king.

"Flame-mouth." A general name for places where subterraneous fires break forth, as is
the case here.
Kách, or Káchha, a province of Western India . . . . . . . . . . . कच्छ Sanksr.
"The marshy (coast)." Also in the Bhután-Taráí we meet the name Káchha, but con-
nected with Vihára, the monastery in the marshes. Lassen, Ind. Alt., Vol. I., p. 61.
Kafirkót, in the Pánjáb, Lat. 32°, Long. 71° . . . . . . . . . . . . . . کافر کوٹ Arab.Hind.
"Infidel's fort." Káfir, the Infidel.
Kailás, or Kailása, also Kilás, a mountain chain in Tibet . . कैलास Sanksr.
"Seat of the wedge." This name is derived by Lassen, Ind. Alt., Vol. I., p. 34, from
kíla, wedge, and ása, seat. Cunningham (Ladák, p. 43) says: Kailás means crystalline,
or icy, and is derived from kelás, a crystal, which is itself a compound of ke, water, and
las, to shine. But according to Wilson's Sanskrit Dictionary, las in the signification of to
shine would require the prefix "ut."
Another name connected with the Kailás range is Tíse, the denomination of its highest
peak.
