6. ank = bend, something bent or curved (JS-14).

The basic meaning bend of this Indo-European root-word is denoted by the Dravidian seed-word an or anu = bend (408-Ka). Note also anke = a staff to lean upon [[a walking stick with a curve at the top; something bent or curved as the meaning of this root denotes]] (Ka). It should be noted that in colloquial Kannada, in order to say something is bent or bent repeatedly, the expression anka-donka is used. The word donku means = to bend, a bend, a curve, state of being bent, curved (2054(a)-Ka), but since the meaning of anka has not been popularly known with respect to something bent, it has been thought that anka is merely a meaningless accompaniment to the meaningful word donka. But today Indo-European has shown us that ank = bend is a variant of the Dravidian word anka and that both of them have been born out of an or anu = bend (408-Ka). In view of the fact that this root is also defined as something bent or curved, note further that in Dravidian onki = hook, gold armlet of a curved shape (5210-Ka).

7. ano = ring (JS-14).

As its derived Latin words anal and anus connote, this IE root denotes the sense of roundness. Here, note the Dravidian seed-words ani = roundness (398-Ka); ani = round, spherical, globular (applied to pearls) (Te). Note also that the root-word is also in such other DR. words as ungara or ongaram or ungra all denoting: ring (572-Ka; Kol; Nk(ch)); untai = anything round or globular (664(b)-Ta); und = roundness (Ma); unda = round (Te). Note that the word underaka- = ball of flour used in Sanskrit has genetic relationship with Dravidian – see at the end of 664(b)

8. ap, apo = to reach (JS-15-16).

The Dravidian seed-word of this Indo-European root is epa = to reach (809-Kui). A derived word of this root is English post = behind, after, afterward (JS-15) which as a prefix occurs in a number of words such as postgraduate, postnuptial, post-facto, post-mortem, etc. Here, note that this prefix post is a cognate of Dravidian word pista which denotes: subsequent, later [[afterward]] (4205-Kur). As we proceed further in this chapter, the point that a number of Dravidian words have performed as prefixes, suffixes, etc., must be noticed even when it is not so repeatedly pointed out. The fact that Dravidian words were put to use as prefixes, suffixes, etc., in Indo-European is not only additional proof of Dravidian identity of the common source of Indo-European, but it also illustrates that Dravidian elements were put to much more extensive use in Indo-European than in Dravidian.

Some of the derived words of this root ap, apo are: aptitude, attitude, adapt, inept, apex, apposite, component, compose, compound, depose, deposit, expound, expose, interposition, juxtaaposition, opponent, oppose, pose, position, positive, posture, preposition, propound, propose, provost, purpose, repose, suppose, supposition, transpose, etc.

9. ar I = reckon, arrange, fit; join, joint (JS-16-18).
