Some sources [3][4] misread the nearby "772" point elevation from the USGS survey; on that map, the peak labeled "Nanlaud" has a 780-meter contour, as does the second-highest peak, 1.4 km to the southeast of Nanlaud, labeled "Ngihneni". Dolohmwar (Totolom), the third highest peak at 760 meters, is an additional 0.8 km along the ridge from “Ngihneni”.[1]
