Berote Khurd

Berote Khurd is subdivision of Berote Kalan Union Council in Abbottabad District in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan,[1] it has a population of 2,500. As part of the local government reforms of 2000, Berote Khurd lost the status of Union Council and was merged into Berote Kalan.

Etymology

The name of the union council "Birote or Berote Khurd" means lesser Birote, this is to differentiate it from the larger settlement of "Birote Kalan". The words Khurd and Kalan (little and big) are administrative terminology dating back to Mughal times – to differentiate two areas with the same name, hence Birote Khurd means little birote (cf. Britannia major, "Greater Britain" and Britannia minor "Lesser Britain").

gollark: No. Actually explain things instead of expecting people to blindly pattern-match whatever nonsense you're trying to convey out of a heap of stuff.
gollark: If you want serious treatment:- make actual testable claims- try and explain actual ideas involved- don't just dump unreadably vast amounts of random trash and expect people to read them (I doubt you have)- ideally get peer-reviewed papers but the rest is more important
gollark: *This* doesn't make sense. You're not explaining any ideas but dumping piles of irrelevant information at us.
