Dear friends,

Please help me with the Kannada name matta seege in native script listed at ENVIS - FRLHT.

Please validate ಮಟ್ಟ ಸೀಗೆ

ಮಟ್ಟ (matta) = inferior ... one of many meanings at Wiktionary

ಸೀಗೆ (seege) ... a name for Acacia concinna ... Kanaja

Regards.

Dinesh

Dear Dinish ji / Garg ji,

The meaning (s) of the word (s) is / are more or less correct:

ಮಟ್ಟ (matta) = inferior

ಸೀಗೆ (seege) = a name for Acacia concinna

However, Seege means = Soapnut . Therefore, the meaning of 'matta seege' is 'inferior soapnut. plant'

Regards,

M.Swamy
