JAG-JAB
JAGHATtT also CHAGHATG—
A river of Azarbaijan, flowing north between Sain Kaleh and Sauj Bulagh
and Kurdistan into lake Urumieh. Is crossed by the Sinneh-Saqqiz road
between the village of Tomar Beg, and Saqqiz. It has a wide gravelly bed
and is easily fordable in summer, but presents some difficulty, though never
quite impassable, in the spring;— 1905.)
It rises in the Kuh-i-Chahal Chameh in the Khur Khureh buluk of Kur
distan, about ±2 /arsakhs noith-west of Sinandlj. It passes Saqqiz and the
Siah Kuh and flows into lake Urumieh beyond Mianduab (1902) after
passing the Siah Kuh it enters Azarbaijan.
With the melting of the snows in the spring the Jaghatu frequently be
comes connected with the Tatahu (Tatava) near the village Chilik, 15
miles below Mianduab. Boats are kept at Mianduab.
Uchtappeh (7 miles lower down) and Chilik are used as ferries when the
river is unfordable.
The river bed has little depth near Mianduab and the width of the river
there sometimes considerably exceeds | of a mile. At Uchtappeh the width
seldom exceeds 200 yards. I could ford the river at Mianduab in December
1887 when it was 200 yards broad and 3-4 feet deep, but in January 1882
I was obliged to use the ferry at Uchtappeh. On the right bank 12-16 miles
above Mianduab there are some canals for leading the river to villages
and fields in the neighbourhood. (Schindler, 1910.)
