The Travels of Marco Polo — Volume 2

Note 1 — Chapter XII

Henry Yule translation

It was a mistake to suppose the name had disappeared, for it is applied, in the form Pulo Gaimr, to the small island above indicated, in Colonel Versteeg’s map to Veth’s Atchin (1873). In a map chiefly borrowed from that, in Ocean Highways, August, 1873, I have ventured to restore the name as Pulo Gomus. The name is perhaps (Mal.) Gamás, “hard, rough.”

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
