Abstract: Abhyankar showed that for a finite tame extension

L_{1} / K

and a finite extension

L_{2} / K

of

m a t h f r a k P

-adic fields, the condition

[u L_{1} : u K]

divides

[u L_{2} : u K]

is sufficient to eliminate ramification, that is,

L_{1} c d o t L_{2} / L_{2}

is unramified. In this paper, we show that the above condition is not sufficient in the case of an arbitrary henselian valued field. We construct a counterexample illustrating that fact. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for the elimination of tame ramification of a henselian field after a finite extension of the base field.
