| Damien Gildea | Names ? | |
Hasn't voted | Jakub Well done. Great peaks with great photos - good to see this stuff on SP. I look forward to seeing you add more to it. You give a few references: Wala, Heichel and Mock etc. But they all spell most of the names differently to you: - Kuti Dorkush, not Kuti Pokush, - Sani Pakkush, not Soni Pokush etc etc. Where are you getting these spellings ? Even if they are "correct" it puts your page at odds with the major references to the area, causing some confusion and making it hard for people researching the peaks to see your good page. D | |

Hasn't voted | I talked to the local people lot about the names. Previously known names are usually wrong (it is hard to hear the name correctly when it is spoken by local people) versions of my propositions. For example: Satmaro - means Sath Marau (7 Killed - Urdu). People in Bar village did not know what is Satmaro. Same with Kuti Pokush known before as Kuti Dorkush. "Pokush" means Peak in local language. Known previously Kuti Dorkush is probably a wrong version of words "Kutio Deri Kush" - meaning The View of Triangle (Kutio) Peak. Please notice, that I always give previous names too. Regards. | |
