Migmetkhár, in Bálti, Lat. 35°, Long. 75° མིག་མེད་མཁར mig-med-mkhar. Tib.
"The invisible fort." Mig, eye; med, a privative particle forming negative adjectives; mkhar, fort.
Milum, or Midum, in Kumáon, Lat. 30°, Long. 79° . . མི་བཞུམ mi-lzlum. Tib.
"Man's union (congregation, colony)." Mi, man; bzlum, to gather.
The name can be explained by the place being a colony of Tibetans on the southern
slope of the Himalayan crest. It is pronounced Milum and also Midum; both modes can
be brought in connection with the orthography, for in zlum the "zl" is generally spoken
as "d," whilst in the pronunciation of lum the soft "s" is phonetically dropped. By the
natives we got it also translated by man's exhaustion, which gives us rdum, mutilated. This
interpretation, we were told, alludes to the hardships endured, and the consequent exhaustion
of the first settlers on reaching this spot after the high passes they had to cross.
