Bonus:
Most lakes in Tajikistan have the suffix кӯл as part of the name, for example, Искандеркӯл, which is Lake Alexander. When we translate it into English we leave the кӯл in the name, but also add the word “lake”.
Искандеркӯл: Lake Iskanderkul
Зоркӯл: Lake Zorkul
Қарокӯл: Lake Qarokul, (or Lake Karakul)
