"The plain, or meadow of the puses." Puse, a kind of mole; thang, a plain,
a meadow. Numerous hills are thrown up in this place, and are rather surprising in so

in vain for puse, but Mr. Schiefner, whom I consulted about it, kindly informed me that
it might be corrupted from spu chhen, long-haired; spu meaning hair, chhen, great.
A short-haired animal of this kind might then be expected spu hrug, pronounced
pu-shuk.
