Dear Prasanta ji, and friends,

Please help with the name jinjir OR jhinjhir in Ol Chiki script ... reference: A Santali-English dictionary by A. Campbell, of the Santal mission.

If there are any other valid names, please help me with them too.

Regards.

Dinesh

Respected sir,

Thanks for the query, the transcription for jhinjir will be ᱡᱷᱤᱱᱡᱷᱤᱨ, jinjir (ᱡᱤᱱᱡᱤᱨ). I'm in the midway for creating a transcripted database of plant names based on Santali-English dictionary. I will share it with you soon.

with best regards

Thank you very very much dear Prasanta ji. This is of immense help !!!

Transcripted database of plant names, based on Santali-English dictionary, will be a great contribution to eFI - for knowing Santali names of plants, and of immense help to me in compiling names.
