Re: Meaning of the Suvin
in reply to a message by Anon.
here is the source:www.alkhemy.com/sanskrit/dict/dictall.txtand by the way, next time don't act like i attack you or something. i just asked how it was for Praviina and Naviina and Kaviina, as they all are Indian boy names with the same way of writing.

What I meant was: 'That's a made-up word', not 'you're telling lies'. You took the beginning of one word, and the end of another, and 'made up' a new word. I have not yet mastered every subtlety of the English language.
I'm sure everything you said was well-intended.
'Made-up words' are usually meant to amuse, not to deceive.

My appologies go out to all I have offended.

It says 'naviinam = (adj) new', not 'navijna(m)'. The 'ii' stands for a long 'i' in this dictionary. (All the vowels in Suvijna are short in case you're wondering).
