Dear Dinesh ji,

Very nice compilation .

I think you have used FRLHT words i.e. koomana gedde, neer kove    for Kannada transliteration / translation using google translation link.   In my view the  words 'ಕೋಮನ ಗೆಡ್ಡೆ , ನೀರ್ ಕೋವೆ'  are   more appropriate.   Nevertheless, it is left to your discretion to  use these words or retain those in your posting.

All the best,

Thanks & Regards,

[Mahadeswara]

Google translation is not perfect  Dinesh ji.  More often than not,  it is  subject to correction by those who know Kannada.

[Dinesh Valke]

Many thanks, dear Mahadewara ji, for validating the Kannada names.

I depend on https://alar.ink/ for checking possibilities of any given names in Kannada.

I will use ನೀರ್ ಕೋವೆ for neer kove as you have pointed out.

About ಕೋಮನ and ಕೋಮಣ ...

at https://alar.ink/ ... only the latter (ಕೋಮಣ) is listed, with the meaning as loin cloth. ಕೋಮನ is not listed.

Searching ಕೋಮನ and ಕೋಮಣ in Google, ಕೋಮನ does not give relevant results, while ಕೋಮಣ does.

I think we will go with ಕೋಮಣ.

What are your thoughts?

Regards.

Dinesh

[Dinesh Valke]

Dear Mahadeswara ji,

I did not pay attention to ಕೋವೆ in your suggestion.

ಕೋವೆ =

1. the creeping plant Galedupa arborea.
2. its flower.
3. the creeper Coccinia cordifolia ( = C. indica, = Bryonia grandis, = Momordica monadelpha) of Cucurbitaceae family.
4. the climbing shrub Bryonia epigea of Cucurbitaceae family.

and few more meanings, not relevant to plants.

ಕೂವೆ =

1. the plant Curcuma angustifolia of Zingiberaceae family, with large leaves, white flowers, and starchy roots; East Indian arrowroot.
2. the plant Maranta arundinaceae of Marantaceae family.

and a few more meanings.

In the reference:

Subrahmanya, Prasad K - Exploration and elucidation of traditional medicinal plants of erstwhile Tulunadu and surrounding area of Kerala and Karnataka - Shodhganga

... neeru koove = water arrowroot, named so due to its aquatic habit and resemblance with Maranta and Curcuma species.

Let us therefore go with ನೀರ್ ಕೂವೆ for neeru koove.

Regards.

Dinesh
