Gyagár, in Ladák, Lat. 34°, Long. 77° . . . . . . . . . . . རྒྱ་གར rgya-gar Tib.

"The white plain." Rgya, extent; gar, equal to dkar, white.
Name of a sandy plain on the left shore of the Indus, near the monastery of Himis.
In Tibetan literature it is also the name used for India, as Gyanág (rgya-nag), black
region, is used for China. Concerning these names and the reference of the colours to the
dress of the people (not to their complexion), compare the interesting remarks of Mr. B. H.
Hodgson, in his "Himálaya and Nepál," Calcutta, 1857, Govt. Select. XXVII., p. 82.

Gyúkti, dialectically modified from rgyug-rta, a river
in Gnári Khórsum, Lat. 32°, Long. 80° . . . . . . . . . . རྒྱུག་རྟ rgyug-rta Tib.

Rgyug, to run, fly; rta, a horse, seems to have undergone here only a dialectical modification
into ti.
The name is given by the natives in connection with the horse-races held every year at
the time of the Gártok fair. The race takes place between the Nákyu and Gyúkti rivers;
prizes are distributed by the Khárpon (mkhar-dpon) or head man of the place. The first
prize consists of a horse and a dress; the second of a box of tea; the third prize of a present
of five rupies and a silk cloth. The latter object, the Khaták (kha-btags), is very generally
presented to superiors as a sign of respect and acknowledgment; we also obtained such
Khatáks on many occasions in Tibet.
Anal. The word Gyúkti is also met with in the name Gyúkti La, a pass to the north of
Gártok.

Hadligárh, in Orissa, Lat. 20°, Long. 85° . . . . . . . . . . . هدلي گڑھ Hind.

transpositions of consonants are not at all unusual.
