An excellent article by Richard Thomas on the Yeti, Bigfoot, etc. Some things were new to me; for example, the Yeti, depicted as a white haired creature and often referred to as 'the Abominable Snowman."
The confusion comes from a mistranslation of one of the beast's many names, Metoh-kangmi, Sino-Tibetan for 'abominable man of the rocks'. It was mistranslated as 'abominable man of the snows. This is where we get the western term ‘Abominable Snowman’ from. (Richard Thomas, Para-News)
