Re: Substrate language which contributed sarSapa to Indo Aryan

[Pavanar cannot prove that Tolkappiyam is wrong. For this "proof" you or anyone else need to provide us Tamil words which predate Tolkappiyam and begin with "ச". In other words the time of origin of these words need to be proven.]

Pavanar has listed the following words in support of the same and few words are mentioned here for your kind reference.

சக்கை, சகதி, சச்சரவு, சட்டம் [cakkai, cakati, caccaravu, caṭṭam]. These words are not Sanskrit words and still exists in Tamil.

You can not dictate Pavanar that he cannot prove that Tolkappiyam is wrong.

Pavanar has every right to prove that Tolkappiyar is wrong in defining the Tamil grammar rules. Accordingly he has pointed out the errors in Tolkappiyam in  his book called THE PRIMARY CLASSICAL LANGUAGE OF THE WORLD. pl refer the below link regarding errors in Tolkappiyam mentioned by him.
