Some of my friends started this webshop (www.taremam.com) which got me thinking-- wonder why they chose the word taremam. Is taremam a Newari or a Sanskrit or Hindi word? Anyone know.

To my acknoledgement Taremam is not really a good word to use, but my friends (who is a high caste brahmin-- brahmin of the brahmins) insisted "taremam" is a good word which means 'hello' with hand-action similar that of a salute.

Taremam also sometimes might also mean 'kick the bucket' in colloquial terms.

Anyway it was interesting to see taremam.com launched as shopping site with such kind of a name.

Hey them peopal always say them is good word. Because them Peopal asked and taught I to do that. So them peopal told I and I to do them salute. And them said yes it is good word and good thing for you to do salute to them. But them neva told I that it is only good fo I to do them salute to them.
