Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 In Tamil, jasiminum auriculatum flower is called 1) Ucimalli 2) Utimalli and 3) Irkkumalli. Uci = Uti = Irkku = needele, spike, sharp point etc. -c-/-t- alterations are many in Tamil, nAvican=nAvitan=barber. Since BhagavathapurANam uses yUthikA for jasminum auriculatum, is yUthikA a Tamil loan? Thanks, N. Ganesan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
