Ohsalur

Not sure if "Ohsalur" is a variant spelling or just an error. I would be inclined to think this was an error- switching the k in Oksalur for a graphically similar h. However, the Chinese character names for this township are both pronounced in Mandarin with an 'h' at just the place where this letter would be- Wuheshalu 吾われ合あい沙すな鲁 and Wohusulu 倭やまと胡えびす素もと魯. I will make a comment on the talk page of the map as well. [1] Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:54, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

More explicitly: Oksalur ئوقسالۇر Wuheshalu 吾われ合あい沙すな鲁

Etymology: Ok=ئوق=bullet=Wuhe=吾われ合あい; salur=سالۇر=in the chamber=shalu=沙すな鲁

Transliteration:

O=Wu 吾われ, k=he 合あい, sa=sha 沙すな, lur=lu 鲁

Oksalur Wohusulu 倭やまと胡えびす素もと魯

O=Wo 倭やまと, k=hu 胡えびす, sa=su 素もと, lur=lu 魯

In both cases, the k is corresponding to a sound that was transliterated into Chinese characters with a character pronounced in Mandarin with an h. Therefore, Ohsalur seems reasonable to me. Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:59, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
