Please clarify. What cannot be right ?? Registan is a common hindi
term for a desert ?

What am I missing ?

Piotr writes : I suspect there may be a connection between
<re:gesta:n> and Skt. rah- 'to desert, abandon', but without
checking the details I can't say more.


Ravi : But would this not be a verb " to abandon" ? to add to the
confusion I always thought " Rah" is . at least in Hindi " a way" or
a " path " or a " road"


Best regards
