River Mountain range Explanation: Under the assumption that Jianjun is correct with regard to the mountain range in question I would be careful about the way I translated the range into English. Several minutes of Googling in a variety of places has taught me that "kuh" and "rud" are the Persian (Farsi) words for mountain and river, respectively. I also learned that the expression "kuh rud" likely means "River Mountain". I say, likely, because I could not find a direct translation, but was able to find a similar grammatical pattern for a place called Black Mountain. In effect, the word mountain is already contained in the word "Kuhrud" and writing "the Kuhrud mountain range", may be unnecessarily redundant. My suggestion would be to place a question in the Farsi-English language forum and see how it is handled there. By the way, though I am not certain, the Zagros and Kuhrud appears to be very different mountain ranges. From the land of no mountains, but surrounded by sea on many sides. |
