1. kurula- = ‘curl’ from Dravidian kurul (l written with an underline dot) (Ta); kurul (l written with an underline dot) (Ma); kurul (l written without an underline dot) (Ka),etc.
2. kulattha- = ‘Dolichos uniflorus’ from Dravidian kol (Ta); kollu (Ma); kudu (Tu),etc.
3. kuvalaya- = ‘lotus’ from Dravidian kuvalai (Ta); komale, koval, kole (Ka).
4. khala- = ‘threshing floor’ from Dravidian kalam (Ma;Ta); kala, kana (Ka),etc.
5. khala- = ‘a rogue’ from Dravidian kal (Ta); kalla (Ka),etc.
6. talina- = ‘thin, slender, meagre, clear’ from Dravidian tel, tellage, tellana, etc. (Ka).
7. tadaka- tala-, talaka- = ‘lock, bolt’ from Dravidian tar (Ta); tar-krol (Ma), etc.
8. tala- = ‘palmyra-palm’ fromDravidian tal (l represented by the letter r with two underline dots (Ka); tadu (Te).
9. palli = ‘small village’ from Dravidian palli (Ka; Ma; Ta); palli, palliya (Te).
10. pali- = ‘row, line, margin, dike’ from Dravidian pali (l represented by the letter r with two underline dots) (Ka); pali (l represented by the letter l with an underline dot) (Ma); padi (Te).

The above examples noted by T. Burrow also show other correspondences such as l = l; the latter is represented by r with two underline dots and defined as the retracted (or retroflex) fricative in DED, and it is important to note that because such a character is not available in the computer being used to write the present work, it is written as l. See numbers 8 and 10 above. For a note by DED about this element see DED (page: xl). Note also that this element represented by the letter r with two underline dots often corresponds with l (written with an underline dot) within Dravidian itself; see number 10 above. This latter element l written with an underline dot in DED is represented in this work by the letter l. Further note that the element l (written in DED with an underline dot) often corresponds with l (written without an underline dot) within Dravidian; see number 1 above. Note also that Sanskrit l sometimes corresponds with Dravidian l (represented by r with two underline dots) as exemplified by number 8 above, and sometimes with Dravidian l (written with an underline dot) as examplified by number 1 above. Note further that the elements written with an underline dot or dash in DED are written in this work without them. Since the DED group number and the abbreviation for the Dravidian language in which the word referred to occurs is always given, there should be no ambiguity as to which word and the spelling are being referred to.

Also to be kept in mind is the fact that many other phonetic correspondences which occur in Dravidian can be witnessed while referring to the DED groups cited in the present work, and thus many more Dravidian seed-words of the corresponding Indo-European root-words can be realized even though they are not cited in the present work. In order to keep the length of this work manageable, rarely such counterparts of the Dravidian seed-words which are the result of the operation of the phonetic correspondences in Dravidian are mentioned. This is to state clearly here that the Dravidian seed-words cited in this work are not the only ones which are the seed-words of their corresponding Indo-European root-words. In spite of her great age Dravidian’s treasury of words is remarkably full, and she is capabale of proving her identity as the common source of Indo-European copiously.
