As for the suggestion TripiTaka-kanduka- for basketball, it would be wise to rethink the use of the first syllable 'tri-' as it is meaningless in the context of basketball. So one can either substitute it by 'dvi-' (dvi-piTaka- kanduka-) what is more realistic, or simply elide it (piTaka-kanduka-). N. Mohkamsing Centre for Non-Western Studies
