The Milīr is the second-largest tributary of the great Aiwa river. It originates from the highlands south of the Rathedān and flows in a north-eastern direction through a grassy steppe which was in ancient times the home of the various nomadic Hitatc tribes. The river joins the Aiwa about halfway between Ngahêxôldod and Buruya.
