[Facts] Re: Apuroopa, Pasatee, Ifat, Artemii
There is a bengali name aparUpA (as in English awe-po-roo-paa). Bengali does not have lexical stress.The word is derived as the feminine of Sanskrit aparUpa which comes from the prefix apa- (away, back, negative) + rUpa (form, beauty) and originally meant ugly or odd-looking. In Bengali, however, it means oddly/extremely beautiful.
