Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 zrIrAmapura! is correct. But in all North Indian names these get shortened as zrIrampur, jaipur etc. zrIrampur became serampore in French. Benct Philip Jonsson <bpj wrote: Dear Indologists! What is the origin, correct spelling and meaning of the (Bengali) place-name Serampore/Shrirampur? A friend claims that the correct spelling is zRraMpura, but that spelling looks suspicious on account of the Rr combo. To me it looks like it should be zrIrAmapura! -- /BP 8^)> -- Benct Philip Jonsson -- melroch at melroch dot se Solitudinem faciunt pacem appellant!
