Dear Sebastian, Hi All, Could ful'l be the equivalent of shubra in Marathi, as in Pandra Shubra (both adj). It matters not really, but Ful'l could be a construct to express an "expanse" of pure unmarred white.
Kallem Kitt'tt, reminds me of of Kalakuta (also, halahala) — possibly origin of Kala KUTT (Marathi)! During the churning of the Ocean, there emerged the kalakuta poison, which Shiva swallowed and held in his throat. It burnt his throat turning it blue; hence Nilakantha [blue-throat(ed) one]. [as recolected from a dictionary on Indian Lore, etc.] Tambddem gunj: The seed of the berry--I hear you. Indian licorice! venantius j pinto >From Sebastian Borges: Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:10:11 -0700 (PDT) From: Sebastian Borges <[email protected]> (DEL) Dhovem ful'l (snow-white).? Don't know whether ful'l means anything. Kallem kitt'tt (pitchblack).? - do - regarding kitt'tt. Tambddem gunj (bright red).? Perhaps gunj stands for gunji = seed of abrus precatorius.
