ArchivesRe: Well...
in reply to a message by তন্ময় ভট
Hi! Thank you very much Miranda and "other person" (sorry, I don't read whatever language that is, as much as I'd like to. What language is it?). You were very helpful. Do you happen to know anything about Amira? According to Behind the Name, Amir means "prince" or "commander". Does that mean Amira means "princess" or "commander"? I saw on another name site that Amira means "leader", which I suppose princes and commanders are. Can "leader" be an accurate translation/combination of prince and commander? Thanks! I'm also going to post this last part again as a new message so others will see it.

Another person on the other thread has already explained Amira. I know little about Semitic languages to be able to add to that explanation. In Hindi, the word amir has been borrowed, but only in the sense of rich; and amira is not used.
My name is written in Bengali script. It is pronounced t-awe-n-moy, with a unaspirated soft dental t (think French). -moy is a common suffix meaning `made of' (technically, `transformation of') and tad is the demonstrative pronoun `that'. The whole indicated someone concentrating intensely. The post is long enough without going into my last name, I'll leave that for a different post.

I'm not a MPD, I swear... read for explanation of why I used two names.
Hi! This is Shiloh/Tieliebirds. The reason I have two names is that I've been posting as Tieliebirds ever since I started posting on BtN about 2 years ago, but recently I've been having trouble logging in and so made another username so I could post (and my name is Shiloh so that's the name I chose). So, again, I'm not pretending to be more than one person.
