- (Lieven < MO's qepHom 2018 Video Interview): The difference between the two is that {jorchan} "refers to the view" of a landscape, "something you look at". It could be a city, a forest or whatever. The word {Hatlh} refers to the countryside where you can walk into. It is somehow the opposite of the city: Some people live in the city, other live on the {Hatlh}.
