[edit] The name "barchan"

So, where does the term "barchan" come from? What language?--203.73.103.71 05:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

  • According to Mirriam-Webster: Russian barkhan, from Kazakh Haligonian1 22:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • As far as I know it is arab, and means "horn", referring to the horns of the dune.

[edit] Megabarchan

The link to Megabarchan redirects to 'Dune'. A little counterproductive, no?
