>kO maathaa - is a popular term referred to and used in Tamil for holy cow .

>kO

>> in Tamil certainly carries a meaning as cow !

 

Most Sanskrit words are valid words in Tamil. So I do not see any

controversy. Because of the two different origins, some people

without knowledge of Tamil are likely to misinterpret meanings.

Vijayaraghavan is indeed correct. I was wrong. The short form vengada

must be of the British time anglicization.

 

There are 148 occurances of vEngadam in the naalaayiram of the azhvaars.

none of short 'e' vengadam. Even silappadikaram calls it vEngadam and

not vengadam.
