71,4 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. Sk ar, might be also star, and Cunningham (Ladak, p. 34) translates it starry place. The pronunciation Kardo, without showing the s prefixed, would be more usual according to the general rules, but now Sk a rdo is more frequently heard. In the actual Hindostani an i is prefixed as usual to s followed by a consonant: with an e prefixed, as E - s k a r - d o, it also occurs in Tibetan literature, as told to me by Emil.
