Re: came fromYes, thanks
To my knowledge, Jhandark is the same French person that in English is known as "Joan of Arc". I just do not understand why the name of a French historical person is on an Iranian Mountain. Are you aware of any mountains in France that are named after Iranian characters such as "Koorosh Bozorg" or "Khaarazmi"...?

Re: came fromNo no it's not a name of a person. A Friend (Mr Ali Parsai) told me that is a changed expression of "gendarme" that means "Rock tower".

Re: came fromAs I said in the main page too, I always suspected that "Jhandark" was a misnomer for "Gendarme”.
We then need to call these needles "Jhandarm" not "Jhandark".
