Dear Dinesh ji,
This is with reference to the clarification required in respect of the following Kannada names :
a) Daavaniya gedde : ದಾವಣಿಯ
ಗೆಡ್ಡೆ (
daavaniya = half sari's ;
gedde = tuber) ;
Half-sari's tuber
b) Haavina more gedde : ಹಾವಿನಮೋರೆ ಗೆಡ್ಡೆ ( haavina
more = snake's face ; gedde = tuber) snake's face like tuber
c) Havina moothi gedde : ಹಾವಿನಮೂತಿ ಗೆಡ್ಡೆ (havina moothi = snakes snout ; gedde = tuber ) snake's snout like tuber
In my view the names suggested at (b) & (c) are quite good / appropriate as they refer to the shape of the floral display. In my opinion you may include these two names.
I am not sure of the name at (a) . I know only the one meaning of the word Daavaniya , which means half saree. I donot know how far it (plant) resembles half-sari I could not get any other meaning for this word. Hence my doubt.
Thanks & Regards,
M.Swamy
