Jwhwlao
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jwhwlao is a masculine honorific in Bodo language which means gentle and honorable used in contrast to the common Mushri (masculine, equivalent to Mr.) and Mushrima (feminine, equivalent to Ms.).
The word comes from Jwhwlao Daimalu, a hero of the ancient Bodos. His statue, pointing his hand to the sky and carring a bow and arrow, is in the Kharigao village of the Kokrajhar District of India, near the national highway of India.
Jwhwlao Daimalu was a senior official in the reign of King Iragdao. He and his troops are said to have defeated the King of Burma and to have brought white elephants as souvenirs of their victory.
