prefix

Mohamed added the Arabic "Al" prefix to his surname some time in the 1970s.

Anila told me that she had given all the girls saved by the midwives the prefix “Kosi” before their name, a homage to the Kosi river in Bihar.

Medha remembered that Monica had been named with this “Kosi” prefix before her adoption.

But her origins in Patna, her approximate date of birth and the prefix “Kosi” all point to the same conclusion: Monica is, in all probability, one of the five babies rescued by Anila and the midwives.

The prefix S denotes the class for freestyle, backstroke and butterfly.
