Note 369 — Chapter XXIX

Notes on the Khasia mountains and people; by Lieutenant H. Yule, Bengal Engineers. Analogous combinations occur in the south of England and in Brittany, etc., where similar structures are found. Thus mæn, man, or men is the so-called Druidical name for a stony, whence Pen-mæn-mawr, for “the hill of the big stone,” Mæn-hayr, for the standing stones of Brittany, and Dol-men, “the table-stone,” for a cromlech.
