of smaller type. In reference to the Tibetan intersyllabic points I have rendered them
in the transliteration, as usually done, by small horizontal lines. In the phonetic
transcription they are left out in conformity with the pronunciation; and again the
parts which appeared to be separated by the natives when pronouncing a composed
word, I also wrote as separate words.

In the last column of the first line, the respective language or dialect is indicated,
minor distinctions being excluded; occasionally the difference between Sanskrit and
Hindostáni, and particularly between their original or modified forms, can only be
distinguished by variations of secondary importance, which, besides, are nowhere less
strictly adhered to than in geographical terminology

The translation of the name is followed, where necessary, by some explanatory re-
marks, which I have endeavoured to give in the most condensed form. All details of
history and mythology I have accordingly avoided as much as possible.

I might have added, besides, some materials still by a compilation including in
full detail the names which I found explained in books, or those the elements of
which might have been found together from the Sanskrit and Hindostáni dictionaries;
in general, however, I thought it preferable not to introduce too much of such
materials into the register I now present.

In cases where two or more names co-exist for one place, I have added them,
whether able to explain them or not. Names of analogous formation are added in
many instances; I give them separated into their component parts, in order the
better to show their etymology; and I employed for them the usual mode of tran-
scription; the accent is not given separately for each part, but only the principal
accent of the word is marked. It will be easy to see that, in many instances, their
number might have been considerably increased; I limited myself however, chiefly,
to such cases as presented a not too oft-recurring repetition of the same features.
