[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Place Name Urichwost

[Jerry Frank]

I have searched all my hard copy maps as well and have come up with a 
blank on this place name.  Either the location was short-lived or the 
name changed to something else.

I've noticed that Leona's listing for Urwichwost makes a side reference 
to Ypba but I could not find anything like that either.

On the other hand, why would she say it was in Luck county because it doesn't say that on the St Petersburg records?
