DISCOVERY OF DRAVIDIAN AS THE COMMON SOURCE OF INDO-EUROPEAN
Page 42
 

122. gleubh = carve, split (JS-128).

The DR. seed-words of this IE root are gilu = to rend (1622-Ka); kil (kilv-) = to split, rend (Ta); koluttu = hollow out, scoop out (2148-Ta); kil = to split, dig (1851-Ta); kilikka = to lacerate, rend (Ma).

123. glor = music and/ or song (JS-129).

The DR. seed-words with which this IE root has genetic relationship are kol = tune (2155-Ko); kolai = melody, song (Ta). Also note kol = sound, voice [[used in singing a song or with music]] (1774-Ka).

124. grand = grand (JS-133).

This IE root is in such DR. seed-words as krandu-konu = to be great or much, excessive (1287-Te); kara = greatness, abundance (Ka).

125. gras = devour (JS-133).

This IE root is fused with DR.seed-words such as koruka = to eat greedily (2233-Ma); kurummuka = to eat greedily, cram in (1923-Ma).

126. gru = grunt (JS-133).

Note the DR. seed-word of this root which is in such combinations as guraguttuni = to grunt (1852-Tu); gurkugurku (gurku reduplicated) = grunting (Tu). Note that in gurkugurku the word guru which denotes: to grunt is reduplicated.

127. ieu = young man (JS-149).

Note that Pei-126 renders this IE root as yeu and defines it as young. Also note that JS (on page xxx) states that he renders j as i "as it was for centuries". Not surprisingly this root takes the form juvenis in Latin and this leads to such words as juvenile, juvenescent, junior, etc. This is quite in order because the DR. seed-words of this IE root are jevu = child, lad, youth (2813-Tu); jovu = youth, baby, female child (Tu); jokulu = children (Tu). Observe that these DR. seed-words have hardly changed during the elapsed millennia since the ancient Dravidians left India for Europe.

128. ka = desire (JS-152).

This IE root is incorporated in many DR. seed-words which denote various aspects of its meaning. Note that JS 152 points out the name of Kama, the Hindu god of love and passion. In DR. kay = burn with passion (1458-Ka); kadal = love, affection (1445-Ka); kira = desire (1621-Kur); kur = to covet, hanker after (1897-Ta). Note that JS-152 also points out Latin caritas which denotes: love. Here note that in DR. kur = to love (1897-Ma); kur = to love (Ka). Note also that Latin amor is not only defined as love, but as love for things, longing, desire (Ltc.41), and that in DR. amar = desire (162-Ta).

129. kad I = fall, befall, fall dead (JS-152).

Note the DR. seed-words kede = to fall down (1524-Ka); ketu = to be destroyed [[as inflicting death]], fall on evil days (1942-Ta); kedayu = to die (TE); ked = to be ruined, extinguished (Kod); kette = misfortune, ruin, evil (Ka). In Latin cado = to fall down (Ltc.82), and it is a cognate of DR. kede = to fall down (1524-Ka). Note also that in Latin morior (mori) denotes: to die (Ltc.380), and in DR. murru denotes: to die (5017-Ta). The word cadaver is derived from this IE root kad I. Here, note that in DR. ko.d =dead person (corpse at first funeral, relics at second funeral) (1942-To); kattai = corpse (1152-Ta). Note that the word kata used in Sanskrit denotes: corpse, and that it is derived from Tamil katta (1152-Ta). In Latin tabeo denotes: to waste away (Ltc.591), and in DR. tapa denotes: to perish (3068-Ta).

130. kad II = sorrow, hatred (JS-152-53).

This IE root is fused with DR. seed-words such as kudi = grief, suffer pain or vexation in the mind (2084-Ka). Note the other seed-words in the same group 2084 koti = grief, rage, be enraged (Ta); kodipuni = seethe (Tu); kedu = to become vicious (1942-Ka); keduka = a bad, wicked, mean man; man who destroyes (Ka); kedu = miscief, evil, loss, danger, disaster (Tu).
