in reply to a message by prevathe
I have not seen numerological values of names, and their histories and imputed meaninings, assigned by whatever culture or means discussed on this board, and doubt you will find too many people interested in discussing it here.
I am responding because I am interested in knowing what culture these names are from. These look like Indian names (a,b, and d from Sanskrit, c from Tamil, by their sounds) which have been changed by long periods outside India. My guess would be they are places colonized by the Tamil empire (who used a lot of Sanskrit words especially in names and religious uses) of a millenium back, may be Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, or some of the island regions?
Unfortunately, I do not know enough about the sound patterns of the language from these few cases to know whether the Sanskrit ones could be prabhAtI, suhAsinI, and jIvanAtha ... If they are indeed Thai, could you provide the Thai spelling, since that script is Brahmi derived and carries trace of the original spelling. Once I can identify the words in Sanskrit, I may be able to figure out the meanings.
