Word: Kuqa Part of Speech: name 1. A county-level city of Aksu prefecture, Xinjiang autonomous region, China, formerly a county. Example: From here the Silk Road bifurcates. In times of unrest, the caravans would move south through the sparse towns along the foot of the Kunlum Mountains, protected from robbers by the Taklimakan desert. But more often they would brave the great northern route with its line of rich oases - Turfan, Korla, Kuqa, Aksu - and hope to evade marauders from the grasslands just to the north. Example: The Kizi Kuqa Beacon Tower Standing 6 mi. (10 km) west of Kuqa County, this ancient watchtower—or the weather-beaten remains of it—was one of many built along the southern arm of the Silk Road to protect traveling merchants and emissaries from bandits.

Example: If dispossession has defined recent centuries of Turtle Island history, then this fact has been well accommodated in official U.S. discourse. Example: Native peoples see the continent as Turtle Island (a concept brought to a wider audience by ecospirit poetry of Gary Snyder). The continental Turtle can be seen in two ways, with its head either to the north or south. 2. The Earth.

Example: He took this opportunity as a good excuse for stepping up border defense and consolidating his power in Sinkiang. Not only did he make careful military arrangements along the northeastern border adjacent to Outer Mongolia, such as the strategic centers like Ha-mi, Chen-si, Ch'i-t'ai, Sui-lai, Altai, Wu-su (or Kulklawusu), T'a-ch'eng, he also strengthened his military control of the other strategic areas including Ili and Ching-ho in the west, Yen-ch'i and Wen-su in the southwest, Wu-shih and Pu-li in the south.

Word: Ho-t'ien Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Mandarin 和闐 /和阗 (Hétián) Wade–Giles romanization: Ho²-tʻien². and/or From Mandarin 和田 (Hétián) Wade–Giles romanization: Ho²-tʻien². 1. Alternative form of Hetian (Hotan city). Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: Again, Yü-tʻien or Ho-tʻien (Khotan), as it is now called, has been from time immemorial devoted to Mahometanism, as is amply borne out by Illustrated Notices of Western Countries, printed by Imperial authority. Example: The Ho-t'ien Special District in the Uighur Autonomous Region of Sinkiang, lying north of the K'un-lun Mountain and south of the T'a-k'o-la-ma-kan Desert, suffered regularly before the liberation from the menace of drought and sand storm. 2. Alternative form of Hetian (Hotan river). Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: The Chinese side dismissed as of no account the Hsi yu t’u chih, a map from which the Indian side had brought forward as evidence. This disclosed a striking inconsistency, for the Chinese side themselves had elsewhere described the same work as “authoritative and comprehensive”, and “covering all important material”; and they had cited a passage from the 1782 edition of the work which vaguely referred to the sources of rivers being in Ho-t’ien, The Indian side pointed out that no specific conclusions about the boundary alignment could be drawn from this general statement. On the other hand, the 1762 edition of this work clearly stated that the “Ho-t’ien river rises from the Nan Shan” mountains, which were the same as the Kuen Lun mountains. Another map in the same work categorically affirmed that Sinkiang did not extend any further south than the Sanjutagh, which was nearly 60 miles north of the Kuen Lun mountains. Example: Yü-t’ien is a state located in an area known as Ho-t’ien since the eighteenth century (not to be confused with the Yü-t’ien District set up in late nineteenth century some 150 kilometers to the east). Ho-t’ien is situated in southwestern Sinkiang just below the northern foothills of the Karakorem Range and near the upper reaches of a water course, the Ho-t’ien or South Ts’ung-ling River. To the west is the Kashgar or North Ts’ung-ling River. The two join the Yerkand River and form the Tarim River system in south-central Sinkiang. These rivers have their headwaters in the Ts’ung-ling range, which is the general term for the eastern part of the Pamir Heights. The White-Jade River and the Green-Jade River, as mentioned in the present book, are probably the Ho-t’ien and the Kashgar.

Word: Pa-ch'u Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Mandarin 巴楚 (Bāchǔ), Wade–Giles romanization: Pa¹-chʻu³. 1.

Example: Flourishing cotton fields abound also at So-ch'e, Maralbashi (Pa-ch'u), Shan-shan, Su-lo, and Korla.[…] Around a million catties of raw silk reportedly is produced each year from Khotan, Yarkand (So-ch'e), and Su-lo acreage, and a considerable increase is expected; for the provincial Reconstruction Commission has been importing improved silkworm eggs and extending sericulture plots. Example: During this period the Hsiung-nu were weak and failed to assert their power in the region. The more powerful states, Shan-shan (75) in the Lop region, So-ch’e (76) (Yarqand) and Yü-t’ien (77) (Khotan) had begun to absorb their lesser neighbors.

Word: Yeh-ch'eng Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Mandarin 葉城 /叶城 (Yèchéng), Wade–Giles romanization: Yeh⁴-chʻêng². 1.

Example: Upon emerging from the Kunlun gorges, the Yarkand loses the characteristics of a raging mountain torrent and spreads out in many branches over an alluvial fan to irrigate the Yarkand oasis. The oasis, one of the largest in Sinkiang, contains the towns of Yarkand (So-ch’e) and Tse-p’u (Posgam). Upon leaving the Yarkand oasis, the river flows north past Mai-kai-t’i (Merket-Bazar) and then northeast around the eastern margins of the Takla Makan desert. South of the Aksu oasis it joins the Kashgar, Aksu and Khotan rivers to form the Tarim.

Word: Nan-ning Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Mandarin 南寧 /南宁 (Nánníng), Wade–Giles romanization: Nan²-ning². 1. Alternative form of Nanning. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: My flight was going to Wu-han and Nan-ning and thence to Hanoi, which caused a certain interest; it is not every day that British passports go to North Vietnam. My immigration official was suitably inscrutable; he took the thing as no great drama (which it certainly was to me), rather did he appear to regard the trip as a quaint eccentricity. Example: One hot summer day in the Chinese city of Nan-ning, I wandered through a park of lotus leaves and exotic flowers to a pagoda where ancient women sat, drowsily, happily playing mahjongg amidst the scent of flowers, and that excellent sound of clicking tiles enchanted me; I was far from home, but that long slow summer afternoon with the mah-jongg sounds brought me back to my own continent and specifically to Mexicali, whose summer tranquillity never ends.

Word: miscatch Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From mis- + catch. Pronunciation: /ˈmɪskætʃ/ 1. A catch in which the wrong type of fish is caught, and so must be released. Example: Forty-five vessels had, during the whole fishing time, fished 3266 times and caught 21,623 barrels of herrings, consequently on an average 6.66 barrels every time the nets were laid; however, there having been 882 times a miscatch, the above-named number really has been caught in 3266-882=2,384 times fishing. Hence the catch of every time of fishing amounts to 9.1 barrels. Example: At temperatures below fifty, the proportion of catch to miscatch is almost equal ; between fifty and sixty degrees the proportion is about four catches to one miscatch. 2. The act of catching in which the thing that is caught is then dropped; a fumble. Example: On dealing with a shot which is coming rather higher he should stand square to the kicker with his body well behind his hands, in the event of a miscatch or fumble. Example: We regret the slip, but then we take consolation in the fact that the best of jugglers sometimes make a miscatch. 3. An act of catching in which something is caught wrongly, such as in the wrong position. Example: It is necessary to jet the water of about 50-100mm at the end of free flying, as lower/ smaller than this limit to instabilise the weft causing mispick or miscatch problems on the other side thus causing the machine to stop. Example: A miscatch is where the animal's neck is not in the appropriate area and the animal is not caught as it is intended to be. When a miscatch occurs, adjustments should be made so that proper restraint is applied. If a procedure is performed while the animal is experiencing a miscatch, it is considered inhumane. 4. A misperception or misidentification. Example: Thus, miscatches on indices may well to detected after only two groups of tests, one group on a prediction index and the other on the corresponding syntactic word class index, instead of after a minimum of six as in the former version of the program (five groups of tests on the prediction indices and one group on the syntactic word class indices). Example: A miscatch of sound, slip of hand, waver in decision and $100,000 is dropped into a mile-deep hole never again to be fished up.
Word: miscatch Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From mis- + catch. Pronunciation: /mɪsˈkætʃ/ 1. To make a miscatch (any sense). Example: How great a stumbling block to a good dictator would be the amanuensis who lacks concentration of mind, or through carelessness miscatches a word, and calls out to him in the midst of a brilliant flow of ideas, “wait please, I have not caught the word." or, "excuse me, did you say so and so?" Example: After a pause she added these words, memorable forever; words whose meaning she may have miscaught, misunderstood; as to that we can never know; words which she may have rightly understood; as to that, also, we can never know; but words whose mystery fell away from them many a year ago and revealed their real meaning to all the world: 2. To stutter or break the flow of words when speaking. Example: A woman near—her face livid in the stage-light and her eyes like cairngorms—miscaught a line and laughed aloud. Her panic at the sound of her own voice alone, was that of a doe parted from the herd. Example: On occasions when he might have discussed Gray with someone other than Jeannie, an anxiety would paw at his throat, his voice would miscatch, and his mind would stutter over what he'd meant to say.
