Many many thanks Surajit ji. I trust your analysis. Indeed most of the transcribed names are tricky - 1) typo, 2) listing name from one language for another, 3) name known to only a particular region, and so on. But I think it is better we discuss and attempt to thrash OR resolve such ambiguities. Will wait for validating comments. Regards. Dinesh
