<div id="ygrps-yiv-113677117"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt; On the tripoint: Lou Sand Hilo (probably Low Sand Hilo - what is <br/>
&gt; Hilo? Does it mean Low Sand Hill??)<br/>
&gt; Near the tripoint: ur. Lopemukat. No idea what that is.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>A search of GeoNet gives an &quot;area&quot; named variously Lopemukath, <br/>
Lopeemugath, Lobemugat which appears in all three countries. (GeoNet <br/>
uses &quot;area&quot; for bits of country that have a name but are otherwise <br/>
undistinguished.)<br/>
The same search sheds no light on Lou Sand Hilo, except the (perhaps <br/>
coincidental) fact that -hilo is a suffix in Ethiopian placenames <br/>
that seems to be associated with watercourses and wells.<br/>
