Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Wow, loving you is the disease and having you is the only cure. Sounds like a modern love song! Not knowing any Sanskrit it is interesting to me to see how many seemingly related words appear here. I'm sure that it's not by accident and likely adds to the poetry of the original. I see that the Mani words are related to " gem " and that Ani is related to ornament and ornamentation. Are these two related to Pini - seeming to be related to disease? In other words, do all three share a common root? Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 aNi is a noun derived from aNidhal (to wear). piNi is derived from piNidhal (to fasten, debilitating disease). maNi itself denotes gems (in general it refers to 9 gems). It also means time (as in " what is the time now?). It is derived as time from the ringing of the bell (maNi). Thus, they do not share a common root in Tamil. , " prainbow61 " <paulie- rainbow wrote: > > I see that the Mani words are related to " gem " and that Ani is related to ornament and > ornamentation.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Well, darn, They aren't even sanskrit. And here I thought I was so terribly clever. Thank you so much for your clarifications and your contribution of this lovely work. I really do appreciate it, even if I struggle to understand it.
