Named in other records
Histories that mention Uturu
These are published records whose own words name Uturu. A mention is not a history of Uturu, which is why they are listed here rather than with the histories about it.
Read as: Uturu. Counted where the name is written with a capital, because a lower-case occurrence of a name that is also an ordinary word is the word.
