Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 "catir" is not a Tamil word though it is used in connection with this specific dance form. Tamil Lexicon refers to a possible Urdu origin, which in turn leads to a possible Persion origin as suggested by Mr. Gupta. With regards, A.G.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Platts' Dictionary, p. 742, defines s.aadir (beginning with the letter s.vaad), from the Arabic, as meaning "issuing, going forth, proceeding, emanating"; or the past participle forms too. Perhaps this might have been the origin. good luck, FP On Sun, 24 Jun 2001 suvidya wrote: > sAdir adj : issued; brought into force; passed > (from Sultan Nathani's Urdu For Pleasure for > Ghazal lovers) [. . .] > -Arun Gupta > > INDOLOGY, marina orelskaya <m_orelskaya> wrote: [. . .] > > Could anyone tell me what is the possible origin of > > the word sadir (sAdIr ?, sadIr ?, sADIr ? etc.) used > > at the time of the raja Serfoji of Tanjore in > > connection with the court dancing?
