Xourov: Great! Does that 'Dewdhai oxom Buronji' by Aton Buragohai tells when it might have been written? Was it by Aton Buragoahin himself? And can you tell us by reading the Buronji how the name of Assam is referred as in the Buronji? I mean how is it spelled in Assamese, is it Oxom, Axam, Acham or Ochom, if ever it is mentioned? My prediction is that it will be spelled as Acham (ie Ah+ Prothom SO + MO) by I may be wrong. Rajen Barua
