Skárdo, in Bálti, Lat. 35°, Long. 75° . . . . . . . . . . . སྐར་མདོ skar-mdo. Tib.

"The separated country, or valley." Skar, to separate; mdo, district, lower district.
The name is perhaps referable to the country being cut up by deep valleys and ravines.
Skar, might be also star, and Cunningham (Ladák, p. 34) translates it starry place.
The pronunciation Kárdo, without showing the s prefixed, would be more usual ac-
cording to the general rules, but now Skárdo is more frequently heard. In the actual
Hindostáni an i is prefixed as usual to s followed by a consonant: with an e prefixed, as
E-skar-do, it also occurs in Tibetan literature, as told to me by Emil.
