 >Now do you get it that the verse you are quoting from Tolkappiyam and the interpretation you are giving is wrong?..............

 

Your, this very mail again shows that you could not read the verse about which you are talking about.

Why are you stating that the verse quoted by me is wrong without reading it?

 

I have not given any interpretation, to say that my interpretation is wrong.

 

I have no need to, because I find that many grammarians and linguist have discussed rules in Tolkappiyum. The very “Telugu Verbal Bases” which you have quoted from unreliable third sources discusses the verse. I will not tell you what the book says.

 

I will not tell you my interpretation nor will I tell you what I find – because you are trying to teach something to me, about which you have no idea.

It is unnecessary.

 

>……..For this

"proof" you or anyone else need to provide us Tamil words which predate Tolkappiyam and begin with ""……….

Will you be kind enough to read books and articles dealing with Dravidian linguistics and its history, so that you will learn Tamil words and Dravidian words, will understand the letters they start with, what is the history of each such word etc., instead of harassing us?  “Telugu Verbal Bases” of Krishanamurti which you claim to have read is such a book. I have not done any harm to you to face this harassment.
