Respected sir,

sorry for the late reply, hesak transcription shall be ᱦᱮᱸᱥᱟᱜ

ᱫᱚᱨᱮ means tree so only ᱦᱮᱸᱥᱟᱜ shall be the common name for Santali.

ᱯᱤᱯᱚᱞ ᱴᱨᱤ = Pipol tree

ᱦᱮᱸᱥᱟᱜ ᱫᱟᱨᱮ = Hesag Dare

Thanks
best regards,

Thanks very much dear Prasanta ji; apologies never solicited !!!

So, I will consider following names:

ᱦᱮᱸᱥᱟᱜ hesag ... omitting ᱫᱟᱨᱮ dare (meaning tree)

ᱯᱤᱯᱚᱞ pipol ... omitting ᱴᱨᱤ tree

Regards.

Dinesh
