Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 > Btw, is dhUlI connected to tukaL/tUL (tamil)? In his Tamil and English Dictionary, Winslow(1862) gives Skt origin for tUL and considers it "a change of tULi". "tukaL" appears to have a parallel "TukaDA" (read with a dot below D in devanAgarI script) in Hindi (or "tukaDA" in Marathi), having the meaning "piece, bit, part,fragment,particle etc". The corresponding diminutive in Hindi is "TukaDI"("tukaDI" in Marathi). In Kannada "tukaDi, tukaDa, tukkaDa, tukkaDi" (cf Kittel's Dictionary). "tukaL"(Tamil) or "TukaDA"(Hindi) does not appear to be connected to "dhUli" or "dhUlI". Regards.

For example, for bh- alone, bhaNDAkI 4339, bhaNDi- 3219, bharata- 3263, bhUka- 3646, bhUti- 3541. Btw, is dhUlI connected to tukaL/tUL (tamil)?
