Tzalmonah
This is where the people began complaining again (Numbers 21:5; Targum Yonathan). They were again heading south toward the Gulf of Aqaba (Numbers 21:4, Ibn Ezra, Chizzkuni ad loc.).

Punon
This is where the people were bitten by poison snakes (Numbers 21:6; Targum Yonathan; cf. Ramban).

Ovoth
See Numbers 21:10.

Desolate Passes
See Numbers 21:11. Or, 'crossing fords' (Targum), or, 'desolate mounds' (Rashi).
