I still don't understand what the question is, but reading this got me
to look up the 'tuo' that is normally in 'tuocha' (æ²±) and according
to my dictionary it means 'a small anchorage' and is frequently used in
place names, especially in Sichuan. é©® is a much more common word and
I think might be intended to evoke the tea-horse road that Chinese
people lately have begun to find very romantic.
