Thai

I removed a sentence about Bangkok being named for S. mombin, and which stated that "makok" was the Thai word for this species. I didn't see any source for this information. The Spondias page states that "makok" refers to S. dulcis. As S. mombin is an New World species, and Bangkok apparently was named before 1492, it seems clear that the Old World S. dulcis would be the species to which "makok" refers. Additionally, I am skeptical about these Assamese name given for S. mombin (no reference provided); perhaps "omora" also refers to S. dulcis rather than S. mombin?192.104.39.2 (talk) 21:36, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
