The yellow fruit in modern supermarkets which is sold as a lemon might very well originate from the Indo-Burmese borderlands, but this hybrid does not appear to be a particularly ancient hybrid. <i>Citrus x limon</i> is currently believed to be a hybrid of the naturally occurring citron <i>Citrus medica</i> and the bitter orange hybrid <i>Citrus</i> × <i>aurantium. </i>The bitter orange is itself a hybrid of the shaddock <i>Citrus maxima </i>and the mandarin orange <i>Citrus reticulata. </i>Of course, there are also other species of the Citrus genus. Most of these trees do not grow on the Tibetan plateau, however.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"'>Many good wishes,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"'>George <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>Professor Dr. George van Driem</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>Director, Institute of Linguistics</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>University of Bern</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>Länggassstrasse 49</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>CH 3000 Bern 9</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>Switzerland</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><a href="mailto:vandriem@isw.unibe.ch" target="_blank">vandriem@isw.unibe.ch</a></span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><a href="http://www.himalayanlanguages.org" target="_blank">www.himalayanlanguages.org</a></span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 30 Jun 2014, at 10:35, Meiraba Takhellambam <<a href="mailto:meiraba@GMAIL.COM" target="_blank">meiraba@GMAIL.COM</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Dear All <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Apologies for a silly query but can anybody help me out on how to say Lemon in Burmese and in Tibetan.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Best<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Meiraba<br clear=all><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <br>The purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure pure reasoning, and inhibit clarity.
