Hi Rabin:I wrote 'Ankhee', because I know that is how 'Aa*KI' writes her name. If she wrote 'Aakhee', I would have written it as 'Aakhee' too. Proper nouns are written like they are in the original language.See, some people write my name as 'Alpona' - because that is the way it is pronounced, and that may be the right spelling too - they might think. But when I took the name (I mean, my mother named me) and started off as that when I went to my 'pathsala' school, I would prefer people writing my name as I write it - 'Alpana'.But I will tell you a secret: even though it is upto me as to how to spell MY name, it is good to hear/see the "right" pronounciation or the spelling of a name. So, when people, that are not familiar with the name, massacre the name by pronouncing it as 'Alpina' (Aalipna) or 'Alpena' (Aalepna), or 'Alpenia' (Aalepinya), then I think I should have started off writing my name as 'Alpona', and may be - just may be, less people would have made the mistake. But I won't - because it is my name :-), and it is just impossible to correct (or please) everyone anyway, isn't it?So, how are you doing? Write a line or two whenever you can.eBagalI ibýr öeB¤Caer,--b'deu.----- Original Message -----From: Rabin DekaSent: Saturday, January 11, 2003 5:42 PMSubject: Re: kamrupi anibasi - not living or deceasedRegarding Q4, I would like to hear from Chandan Mahanta, Shantikam Hazarika and B’Dew why din't they write Ongkhi instead of Ankhee (see Q4 below).

PS: Thought "raashi" is a time-slot depicting the map/location of stars in that specific time-slot, i.e., "raashi" is not star
kamrupi anibasi :- not living or deceased (do not have Roman writing standards but in kamrupi script as AinbasI)Mahanta could you please help what “hemkosh” says! What Barua wrote sounds strange to me; questions being rephrased:
Q1. Did he write his name as Xourov Kumar Soliha?
Q2. Is Xourov Kumar Soliha "anibasi" (not living/deceased)?Q3. Is Raxi Barua the name as well in the certificate?
Q4. Wondering why swanam dhanya Rajen Barua did not write the name of his other daughter as “Ongkhi” (referring some past emails including from Rajen Barua, Chandan Mahanta, Shantikam Hazarika, B’Dew, ..., and all of them wrote her name in the emails as “Ankhee” only)?Rabin

Deka Bap:Let me help you:
First, let us rephrase the question:
Q1. Did (Does?) he used to write his name as Xourov Kumar Soliha?
A: The name Xourov Kumar Soliha is a pseudoname of an Assamese writer. I do not remember that the writer himself ever wrote his name in Roman script. In fact if you ask him if the writer knows Xourov Kumar Soliha, he would say, No, Who is he. He is very secretative about his psedoname. Even if he would have written, I bet he would not have used X for Dontyo XO. So far I know nobody has till now used the X for proper name (Dax, Xotyen, Xorma, Xoikia, etc) . There is exception however. One daughter of Sonam-dhonyo Rajen Barua is named 'Raxi' where X is used to represent the Talobyo XO, Raxi meaning Star. I hope you got your answer for whatever reason you wanted it. If you are trying to prove something, you are missing the target.Next Question:
Is Xourov Kumar Soliha "anibasi" ?
A: For a moment I thpought 'anibasi' is an English word. But then I realised that probably you are trying to mean 'onibaxi'. Please note that the proper spelling of the word in 'Assamese in Roman Script' will be 'o-nibaxi'. You want to know if Xourov Kumar Soliha is a 'o-nibaxi' or in plain language, a non resident of Assam. So far we all know he had been living in Assam and still lives in Assam. I don't know if at this old age he recently immigrated to some countries outside India. Have you heard anything? Again it is not known why you want to know this information out of the blue out of a statement made by me of him. Anyhow, I think you got your answer.
Thank you for the entertainment. I say, Hobo Dok Bap.
