Thank you to our expert Tamil speakers. We are progressing a little. So 
below is the amended list of names for the Mosambi cultivar.
In this applied linguistics one cannot say that a transliteration is wrong 
or correct. It depends on how a word is arrived at, be it in scripted form 
of romanized form. However in some cases one match is definitely better 
than most. This is the case here. I display the not so good transcriptions 
because they are found in many publications. When one does a computer 
search one can miss a good name if it has only been searched in 2 or 3 of 
its less correct forms and the compiler has only posted the correct 
transcription. With this method one covers (hopefully) all possibilities. 
The preferred, correct, transcription is in bold so that the reader is in 
no doubt. In parenthesis are the alternate, less correct transcriptions.
