[Assam] Lekhiboloi vs. Likhiboloi

[Dilip/Dil Deka]

I am so glad Assamese language hasn't changed in the last four decades! 
  I am assuming from the email address that Mr. J P Rajkhowa lives in Assam. Do you, Mr. Rajkhowa?

  Dear Shri deka
I fully endorse your views on 'lekhiboloi' as synonym of 'likhiboloi' and similarly 'lekhak' or 'likhak'. In practice, lot of people, including scholars use the words synonymously in their writings.In my opinion, no harm is caused to 'Asamiya bhasa' by having many more such words carrying exactly the same meaning to an intelligent reader.
Regards.
JPRajkhowa.

The recent one that has come to my notice is in http://assam.faithweb.com/ratne/ It says "Adarsha Ratne Lipi: Adarsha Axomiya lekhiboloi". I am wondering whether it is "LEKHIBOLOI" only, or it should be "likhiboloi"!
