Hi Michel, As put earlier: Have not heard of *Nangpur santara* ... please let validating comment(s) come by. Nagpur is a well known city -- but Nangpur is a small village, not associated to oranges ... friends to validate. Whether Nagpur is called as Nangpur by certain set of population (rare possibility) ... friends to validate.
*GUJARATI* નાગપુર સંતરા Nagpur santara ... equivalent of ... *HINDI* नागपुर संतरा Nagpur santara *HINDI .......................................................................................................... * कमला kamala (vulg. kamla, variances: kaula or kaunla) A dictionary of Urdu, classical Hindi, and English<http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.6:1:3661.platts>by John T. Platts may not be as generic as संतरा *santara* ... कमला *kamala* could be more probably specific कौंला kaunla a variance of कमला *kamala* A dictionary of Urdu, classical Hindi, and English<http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.6:1:4482.platts>by John T. Platts * .......................................................................................................... **........... * संतरा *santara *is generic name for orange नागपुर संत्र *Nagpur santra* is name given to all oranges supplied from Nagpur Thus they cannot be equated ...
