    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Roshni is Light in Nepalese and In Yakthungpan Light could be from Moon or Sun. So, if it is moon light then it is ' LASEMI = Lamp)" or ( Lasang/ Larak = Moon light) but if it refers to Sun, then it could be Namsemi to be exact.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hello there...
    Raju is Infact. . affectionately used word for Raja or Raj. In Limbu "Hang means Raja (King)" and Raj is reign in English meaning a period of time the king's rule. In Limbu there's hardly a that could be used affectionately by twisting the same word. eg; If your name is Hang - then I don't thing this word could be changed to any other affectionate way. Hope that explains your query. Thank you. ...
