He was eying the wall map, comparing it with what he had seen from the chopper. He picked out the three nearest towns—Yarkand, Karghalik, and Kokyar—running north to south. Everything inside a huge semicircle bounded on the west by the Yarkand River and the southeast by the Kunlun Mountains was shaded. That must be the barbed-wire zone guarded by the army. Kokyar lay inside with more than a hundred other villages and hamlets. In this sector a narrow swath marked in red ran northeast, broadening into a shape like the flyswatter Yao was turning in his fingers. Brodie had heard traffice last night, and the map showed a road from Yarkand through Karghalik and Kokyar to the frontier, obviously a military road taking heavy traffic. Yao had laid down his flyswatter and swiveled around to point to a dot slightly west of Kokyar. "We are here, if you are interested, Mr. Brodie," he murmured. en Synonyms en Kekeya Translations township in Hotan Prefecture Chinese: Mandarin: cmn 科克亞 Kēkèyà Japanese: ja Uyghur: ug كۆكيار township in Kashgar Prefecture Chinese: Mandarin: cmn 柯克亞 Kēkèyà Japanese: ja Uyghur: ug كۆكيار Anagrams en akkory Koryak
