which is applied to the whole district 
either as the Magra or Magra Mer- 
wara. 
A tank from which potter’s clay is 
taken, mati is the local word for 
earth. 
Malra is riches and at this spot some 
small amount of treasure was found 
a few years ago. 
Two villages. Meri is a balcony on 
a house, hence applied metaphori¬ 
cally to a hill inhabited. 
A village. Mewasi is the local form 
of Maveshi cattle. 
Possibly this might mean the field in 
the centre but the local explanation 
is that it is called after one Mesha 
which is pronounced Meha. It is 
the name of a hamlet. 
A village. Minki a cat. 
A tank. The bare flat rock. Moda 
is a bold man ; for kakar see Dholi- 
chat. 
For Moda see above. Mul is a hiding- 
place for shooting. 
The bare hamlet. 
A tank. The bare lopped tree. For 
Moda see above. Jhangar is a 
corruption of changa which as ap¬ 
plied to a tree, means lopped. The 
idea is cutting, thus the mark cut 
at the corner of a field at survey 
is a changat. 
A tank. Moranga are the tops of the 
feathers of the peacock which spread 
into a circle, hence applied to any 
thing beautiful (qu. morangya). 
Magri is the little hill, and morcha is 
a defensive work. 
A hamlet. The place of peacocks. 
The twisting pass. Morna to twist.
