The Imóshagh have peculiar names for the Arab localities, calling:—

Gundám Sasáweli.

Árawán Eshíggaren.

Berabísh Kél-jaberíye.

Kunta, or Kuntarár Kél-borásse.

The ʿArab el Giblah Udayen (sing. Uday).

I shall here add an itinerary of the route from Wadán to Ághadír Dóme,

or, as it is called by the Arabs, e’ Dákhela, which I omitted in the

right place.

1st day, Selaurísh.

2nd. Shúf.

3rd. El Mórwesín, a kódia.

4th. Dómus, a good well or hasi.

5th. Tenwáke, an úggada, with good water in the rainy season,

but brackish during the dry season.

6th. Encamp between Egjir and Rek el Mhón.

7th. Swéta, a locality encompassed by hilly chains or kódia.

8th. Tagazímet, a hasi, 7 fathoms in depth.

9th. Takeshtint, a hasi, 2 fathoms deep.

10th. E’ Dákhela. The two last days are short marches. The village

Ághadír is said to contain from 50 to 60 huts of reed,

inhabited by the Imrághen, the chiefs of whom are Weled

Áhmed Budde Ébn ʿOmár and Mohammed Weled el Mréma.

[Footnote 79: The position of these places, as laid down in my original

map, had to be changed a little from my own data given in the

itineraries, and from the data of M. Panet’s route to Shinghít,

published in the “Revue Coloniale,” 1851.]

[Footnote 80: At the time when I finished my original map which I sent

home from Timbúktu, I had not collected these materials.]

[Footnote 81: I here give the following data, without being able to

connect them:—From Taödénni, one and a half day, Merét; then the same

distance, Hasi Ímbedír; Zúgguma, with the ʿAríg Atwéle on its N.

frontier, five days; Asedáreb, one day; from here the Dháhar (el

Hamár);—three days from Tawát, the hasi Telíg, 7 to 8 fathoms deep.]
