peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1Right Reverend Explanation: is what Rt. Rev. stands for. The Bishop of Jaffna would be one. I don´t know what Grama is, though, I haven´t seen this before. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-04-04 10:42:53 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I looked around a little, and found two types of Grama. One has to do with Indian classical music, but there is no connection with officer. http://www.britannicaindia.com/eb/spotdisplay.asp?spotid=107... The other is an American official, connected with the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) (http://www.co.davis.ut.us/clerkauditor/grama.htm). But no connection with India in sight |

government office officer Explanation: don't mean this litarally of course. I just want to indicate, that a grama is an officer in quite some different levels of government offices, for instance 'grama niladhari' = village officer'. Further reference: http://www.keralagov.com/Institutions/report13.htm. No doubt of course on the Right Reverend by Chris Rowson.

Could grama perhaps stand for title of: "Grandmaster"? Explanation: Just a guess! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-04-04 11:45:35 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- and \"division of moolai\" perhaps for Zuständigkeitsgebiet, hence \"Abteilung Moolai\"? |
