Re: Question:
in reply to a message by Lala
Could be. Actually I often wondered whether the Sanskrit mAlA (garland) / mAli (gardener) / malinI (garland seller) is itself at root straight borrowings.

Been meaning to ask you something.And that's for quite a while now. Can I please as what's your posting name is?I'm curious, since I of course, can't read this kind of "letters" (If I can describe it as letters, that is.) If you don't want to tell, that's okay of course. :-)

I apologize for my idiosyncracies affecting others. I was disappointed that by default most installations (a) turn of rendering of Indic scripts so that you see ????? rather than squiggles you don't understand :-), and (b) People's spam filters discriminate against all non-English senders instead of only Korean and Chinese :-), so I started using my name in Bengali.Since this is not the lounge, let me bring it on topic by referring to http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=193774&board=gen
where I explained my name (actually http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=171626&board=gen is also relevant) . My posting name is my real name: sig of either message gives my real homepage (and the index of my genealogy linked from there explains all names that occur in my genealogy: so I am back on topic, somewhat)

Ahh... Thank you.It's so great to know. :-)I, by the way, really likes that Indic script. It's so much more "colorful" if you will, to look at than "our" ordinary boring script types. And I really love, that you use it for your posing name. It is such a shame though, that it is messes up.Thanks again for explaining it to me.
