The Bābur-nāma in English (Memoirs of Bābur)

Note 387 — SECTION I. FARGHĀNA. (continued 2)

Annette Susannah Beveridge translation

As two of the trees mentioned here are large, it may be right to translate nārwān, not by pomegranate, but as the hard-wood elm, Madame Ujfalvy’s ‘karagatche’ (p. 168 and p. 222). The name qarā-yīghāch (karagatch), dark tree, is given to trees other than this elm on account of their deep shadow.
