[edit] The name

There is no Sanskrit term airavati that I can find, though there is a clear reference to Iravati, who is also associated with a river. Airavata is her son. I am changing the article accordingly. Imc 17:29, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bridge name?

The article states that the only bridge for a long time was the Inwa Bridge, yet the picture's caption states that its the Ava Bridge. - cgilbert(talk|contribs) 23:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
