from which it is 45 miles distant. It is a considerable village—(Owse%.)
TASH TAPPEH—
A rock near Sauj Bulagh in Azarbaijan, which is covered with cun iform
inscriptions. These inscriptions have been pronounced by Rawlinson to
be undecipherable.— {Thielmann.)
TASHWISH—
Vide Tarum.
TASUJ—
A small village, hidden in walled gardens in Azarbaijan, 54 miles north
west of Tabriz. The houses are well built, and there is an air of pros
perity about the place, and though it is sometimes visited by earthquakes
and has a number of ruins about it, it must formerly have been a large place.—
{Gerard ; Gascoigne ; Morier.)
TATAHU, or TATAYI—
A river of Azarbaijan flowing across a well-irrigated, well-cultivated plain
intersected with canals, between Chilik and Sauj Bulagh.
This river rises in the \I.ukri country north of Saqqiz and takes up the river
from Sauj Bulagh from the left before entering the Urumleh lake. It is
crossed bv a now somewhat dilapidated bridge of 5 arches 3 miles west of
Marhamatabad, and forms the boundary between the Shi’ah east and the
Sunni west. During the floods it connects with the Jaghatu, 15 miles from
Mianduab near the village Chilik.—(1910.)
It is also crossed by a ford at Bukan in summer, but in spring time by
a bridge on skin rafts.— {Gough, 1905.)
TATAVAR—
A stream in Azarbaijan between Hasanagha and Yiltomar, which finds
its way towards Maragheh.— {Travers.)
TAT—
A tribe apparently of Persian origin found in large numbers in Mazan-
daran.— {Napier.)
TAYALLALl ?—
An extensive grazing plain and village, a few miles north of Kirman-
shah, traversed by the road thence to Sinneh, Kurdistan. The proprietary
right to this plain is vested in the Shah ; the villagers are of Turkish (Azar
baijan) origin, and speak more Turkish than Kurdish. Their rich pas
tures enable them to keep large flocks and herds, from the produce of which
i hey supply Kirmanshah with butter and curds of superior quality.— {T. G.
Plow den.)
tavAreh khAtGn—
A village in the Mazdaqan district, on the Riza Chai, a couple of miles
south of the Mazdaqan village.— {Schindler.)
