Ok folks this is beginning to be overwhelming. I'll wait until I have some Gujarati, Hindi, and maybe another language before I post an updated table, otherwise this is going to look ugly. Can a moderator erase the white table please. We'll keep the gray one as a souvenir. As the vocab. came pouring in I thought that may be instead of having a huge table we could have several mini tables with one or two photos each to illustrate the point. For example to illustrate "plant" aphoto of a Banana plant and a potted plant. To illustrate "grass" a photo of a weed, a bamboo, and a banana plant. Do you get the idea? It would be highly educational as well as practical for us lexicographers...and all the keen photographers will have a "field day" or a "ball" ie. a good time. What do you think? Mic P.S. do not forget Citrus names. I am on stand by for more feedback on all my questions. Thanking you all very much
