Description:
by Yeshi Wangchuk
These are the different forest products collected by Phuntsho Dendup from Buli, he have collected around eighteen different wild fruits and vegetables to make a presentation on etymology of ‘Kheng’ for Shejun Researcher. He said that, Kheng region is filled with those kinds of wild products in the forest; therefore, one should spell it as ཁེངས་ (Kheng), which means filled or covered. This is how he defended the approach of Lama Gyalwa Nima's etymology of Kheng. And he concluded saying that, those are not the least, some products can be harvested in different season so he could not gather them all.
