Kunghar - Mountain
Kunghar - Parish -  X. I named this mountain - In the early days I was
                           camped on this hill with some cattle and two black boys 
                           in the night the cattle strayed, so in the morning I sent
                           the black boys to look for them or in their own language
                           to 'Kunghai' them. When they had found them all, they said
                           "we been all Kunghai"- I said " we will call; 
                           this hill Mount Kunghai and it has kept this name ever since -
                            - and the Parish is called " Kunghai"
