White ants, khora, hhora, hhura. These pests are very 

 common over the whole country, and are to be detected 

 everywhere by their numerous clay mounds. These mounds 

 are also called Miova, and apparently from them the same 

 name has come to be applied to the domed coverings the 

 natives build over the exposed end of the cut-over stem of 

 the Asafoetida plant, Ferula fcetida. The destruction that 

 white ants cause to all timber, besides its scarcity, is one of 

 the reasons why so few houses have roofs supported by 

 beams in this country.
