Respected sir,

Original Transcription for Gloriosa superba shall be:-

selep samanom = ᱥᱮᱞᱮᱯ ᱥᱟᱢᱟᱱᱚᱢ, sinic samanom baha = ᱥᱤᱱᱤᱡ ᱥᱟᱢᱟᱱᱚᱢ ᱵᱟᱦᱟ

sinic in Santali means, smelly nature of meat/fish etc. So, it is usually written as ᱥᱤᱬᱤᱡ ; Baha in Santali means, flower. So, to name only the plants. I think this plant name should be written as follows:-

selep samanom = ᱥᱮᱞᱮᱯ ᱥᱟᱢᱟᱱᱚᱢ, sinic samanom = ᱥᱤᱬᱤᱡ ᱥᱟᱢᱟᱱᱚᱢ

:-) regards
Prasanta Hembram
