I have traced long ago the word Dravidian to Trimili of crete (meaning
tall). It is possible that Trimili of create have migrated to India
via Malwa.

Can any one please linguistically compare the two names of mother
Goddesses: Durgah (of India) and Traqqas (of Lycians). New evidence is
being found about connection between Lycians and tamilians, as also
between Telugu people and Sumerians.

****GK: Wikipedia connects Lycians with Crete: cf.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycia

But Lycian is supposedly an IE language, descended from Luwian. What's the argument for the Dravidian connection? ****
