The village consists of 30 houses of Kurds, and is the property of the
eon of Zahlr-ul Mulk of Kirmanshah (1897).— (Burton.)
KHALEHSARA—
A river in the district of Talish (Gllan), flowing into the Caspian between
Kargaurud and Enzali. It is a shallow stream in the dry season but in
the spring is a rapid torrent.— (Holmes.)
KHALKHAL—
A fertile district of Azarbaijan containing disused lead mines, from
which, however, the people collect enough metal to pay their revenue. It
stretches from the watershed between the Aras and Kizil Uzun to the
latter river.— (Stahl.)
KHALUl—
• | A J • - w . ; • Vi v ?•-> w.-
A hafting-place in the Elburz mountains on the Lar river, about 25 miles
from the sulphur springs at Ab-i-Garm. It is described as a perfect little
oasis in this desert district, having trees and gardens, though only about
20 acres in extent.— (Baker.)
KHAMAN—
A clan of the Kalhur tribe in Kirmanshah.— (Plowden.)
KHAMAN RIVER—
A river of Luristan in the Garun range north of Alishtar. Its principal
source is said to be a large spring gushing out of the side of the mountain:
it is also reported that from the opposite side of the same mountain a similar
spring flows north of the Gamaslab valley ; on the mountain ridge is a deep
hole or fissure down which the late Shah Nasir-ud-din is said to have ordered
a load of bhusd to be cast, with the result that half emerged from either
spring. The above legend may be taken for what it is worth. The Khaman
is recruited by many springs and streams in the Alishtar plain and crosses
the Khurramabad road in three branches which unite to the south of tne '
road. It then flows through the wooded gorge of Jinan, where it is swelled
also by the Kakurleh river.
Where crossed by the Khurramabad road the principal channel is 25
yards wide by 2 feet greatest depth. The bottom and banks are pebbly
and firm ; the latter require ramping for the passage of artillery. The
other branches are of inferior size, being mere streams. The river is said
to flow ultimately into the Kashgan, west of the Chlgini plain. (Burton )
KHAMCHAI—
A pass in the district of Khamseh over the range, which forms the south
ern watershed of the Kizil Uzun, and leading from Tarun to the high table
land of Zinjan and Sultanieh, but not considered so good as the Aci Gadiik
pass.— (Rawlinson .)
KHAMEfl—
A village in the Malayar district, 212 miles from Isfahan and 118 from
Kirmanshah. It has a few gardens. Water and supplies can be procured
in small quantities, the former from springs.— (Jones.)
