"David Snellgrove wrote what he realized. The etymology for Nepal is "Nepa" and is meant for Kathmandu valley in Newari. " are u trying to make a point that only newaris are native nepalis now???!!! "Nepa" may be a newari word but Nepal is "hamro" not "timro", like its totally nonsense to tell that newaris rule and bahuns are khatam, now, relax, its your country, its our country! jesus christ!
