{nghak-pyau: (ra.hkeing)}

Musa sapientum

Family: Musaceae

Musaceae. (Liliopsida: Zingiberidae: Zingiberales:
Musaceae -- http://ecocrop.fao.org/GPPIS.exe$ShowHost?Host=1503

Burmese-Myanmar transcript names:
• Agri.Dept.2000 16-0397:  {nghak-pyau: (ra.hkeing)}
• FAO : NL specifically, but listed generically 045. See Musa spp.
• Lè-seik-shin : NL
• KS-TMN: NL
• Nagathein 1-357:  {nghak-pyau:}
• UHM: NL

Myanmar-Script Spelling
• Official Myanmar Dictionaries 269:  or
{ré-thi-lan°} -- {ra.hkeing nghak-pyau:} --TravPo-M-Dict 269
{ré-thi-lan°} -- n. same as {ra.hkeing} -- Myan-Engl-Dict 398
{nghak-pyau:} --TravPo-M-Dict 076
{nghak-pyau:} -- n. plantain; banana -- Myan-Engl-Dict 100

UKT: The information from http://ecocrop.fao.org/GPPIS.exe$ShowHost?Host=1503 indicated that M. sapientum has seeds, from which I concluded that this is probably {ra.hkeing nghak-pyau:} , because this species of banana, unless cultivated, becomes seeded when we say that the plant has "gone back to the forest or became wild". Wild banana is known as {tau: nghak-pyau:}. However, Agri.Dept.2000 16-0394 identified {tau: nghak-pyau:} as M. bakert . However, Chklist does not list M. bakert. See Musa spp.
   There are those who prefer the name {ré-thi-lan°}, because the word {ra.hkeing} is the name of Myanmars on the western coast of Myanmar-country who speak Burmese as a distinct dialect.
