l. 2. Dba' (l. 6 dbas): see p. 6. (Chronicle, ll. 190-3)
Ngan lam, a place mentioned in the Lhasa treaties (Waddell_1910: p. 1277, l. 22, p. 1281, l. 47), where Col. Waddell reads Tshe ngan(-lam), which he takes as referring to Singanfu; cf. also Chronicle, l. 84, and Laufer_1911: pp. 215, 217.
'Go bom (l. 5 'Go 'bom) has been mentioned above (p. 55: Ch.xvii.2, IOL Tib J 1375), and the second element occurs in Khri boms. The name of Kum bum, which might here occur to us, is usually explained as Sku 'bum.
ll. 2-3. Lha lung and Cog(Tsog) ro are known, and the Bsam yas and 'Phrul snang monasteries are the famous early foundations, the latter at Lha sa.
l. 3. gra = grwa, see p. 843.
l. 4. Kam bcu = Kan chou.
Lang 'gro is mentioned in the Chronicle (ll. 174, 204, 237).
l. 5. Go cu is not known (= Ho chou, in Lan chou region?).
'Greng ro is, no doubt, the territory of the 'Gren clan of Mdo gams (p. 61).
Zha snga, ordinarily a phrase meaning "presence", occurs as a surname in the Chronicle, l. 208.
Shi gong bu (= Si ngan fu?) has not been found.
Concerning the surnames (Myang, 'Dan ma, etc.) see the consolidated list, pp. 113-17. Skyor = Skyor mo lung?
