@cassanduvani @generalusername I think it is from this usage of invested money or down payment this word has changed to meaning money or gold. Still in Tamil Nadu and I'd believe lanka as well, masters or owners are called முதலாளி. Literally "money man" given the context.

@cassanduvani @generalusername I feel what is going on here is a very Tamil usage of the word முதல். In Tamil in as much as this word means first or behininmg, it also refers to investment. Specifically, the முதல் is the first money that's put in. This term முதலும் வட்டியும் means"the investment and interest"

@generalusername @tempaccnt_twt @dxrsam_0 Still i am surprised that the ja isn't elided into ya as in other prakrits. Though I don't know much about prakrits I think that the ja elision is a common feature no?

[Kadalavan | கடலவன் | 𑀓𑀝𑀮𑀯𑀷𑁆 @kadalavan261]

@generalusername @tempaccnt_twt @dxrsam_0 There are some instances where t-y and such other elided changes in conjunction with ya or a, are terminally deleted in their entirety.
विगत --> *विअअ --> विय and विअ.
So I don't find it very surprising this change happened to vijaya --> vija'a --> vija.

@indiainpixels In Tamil there are a few names, the first one being சுடுகாட்டு மல்லி cuTukkATTu malli not sudugudu. Similarly நித்திய கல்யாணி is equally prevalent

@cassanduvani 4) In so far as fruits as considered to be an offering, i don't really know as i haven't really seen that. But it is customary afaik to light kalpūram and give kuṅkumam and candanam to the tree, like during a vaḷaikāppu. I also remember seeing this in an old time tamil movie.

@cassanduvani 3) It is customary for expecting mothers and couples to tend to the tree and make a request, called kōrikkai, for a bountiful harvest. Some couples even plant jackfruit trees when they get married in the hopes of having children.

@VijayJohn5 @RamprashanthVe1 I would argue that the affricate is inaccurate to begin with. Imo it is most similar to a c͡ɕ c͡ʃ̠ or something similar as when I speak ച, the tongue touches the palate than the alveolar ridge. Never have I said cha wherein i pronounce an affricate of t unless is old tamil t̠ca.

@KaReFoIndia If I'm not wrong, the general legal term for a summons is "வக்காளத்து" from arabic walaqat. Or so I've seen it being used by lawyers.

@SagirAhmed98 What sino Tibetan angnw language is that in the middle? The top one is Assamese and the bottom is sylheti I'm guessing.

these pronouns rarely seen in poetry outside the caṅkam, are so prominently placed here as the major body of this pācuram; I suspect the u- markers in middle tamil were almost exclusively poetic similar to how words such as cāla, pāṅku are restricted to poems in modern tamil.

#Oldtamil shows a three-way distinction concerning deixis in demonstrative pronouns. a- for a larger distance u- for an intermediate form something akin to proximity to the 2nd person and i- for being close to the 1st person. The intermediate form...
