Turkmen and Russian pomegranates: translations and meanings of the names

I translated the names, and did majority of the naming searches first time in Jan of 2010. I edited it a bit more today.  Accession IDs refer to the USDA pomegranate germplasm repository at Wolfskill station, UC Davis.  As I understand, most (or all) of these accessions came from Dr. Levin, who was in charge of pomegranate collection at the Experimental Station of Plant Genetic Resources, Garrygala (Кара-Кала in Turkmen and Russian) in Turkmenistan (USSR).
