Further note that the word hew (hewen in Middle English; heawan in Anglo-Saxon; houwen in Dutch; hauen in German, etc.,) which is used to define kau III, kau, keu which also denote: strike, itself is according to the Dravidian phonetic correspondence which often occurs between initial k and initial h, and which, as we noted with illustrations in the previous chapter, has left its birthmark on Indo-European where k becomes h in Gothic (Pei-22-23). The above noted Dravidian word koy = to cut has become hew in English according to this phonetic phenomenon which often occurs in these languages which, for the sake of clarity we are referring to as Dravidian and Indo-European. In fact, as is in the case of so many other Indo-European words, this English word hew is a pure and simple cognate of the Dravidian Kannada word hoy which denotes: a strike, blow (KTK-1693). Befitting the mother language, the common source of all these words, Dravidian, has both forms koy and hoy. Facts such as these can be illustrated repeatedly, but such an endeavor properly belongs to the province of an etymological dictionary of Dravidian comprising all her offspring.

152. kaul = stalk (JS-161).

Note that JS points out such leafy vegetables as cabbage in this context. The DR. seed- word of this root is kulun = stalk of leaf (1807-Pa).

153. ke = sharpen, pointed (JS-161).

JS correctly points out the derived Greek word konos = cone which has a pointed end. Here, note the DR. seed-words kona = point, summit (2174-Te); kunai = sharp point or tip of a thing (Ta); kone = point, end, extremety (Tu); kona = pointed end (Konda).

154. keg = catch, hook (JS- 161-62).

The DR. seed-words of this root are kokke = hook (2032-Ka); kokke = hook, anything bent (Kod); kokke = a hook, clasp (Tu); kokka = clasp, hook, crook (as for plucking fruits) (Ma); kokki = hook, clasp (as of a necklace or ear-ring), hooked knife attached to a long bamboo (Ta). Note also some of the nasal forms konke = a hook (Tu); konki = a hook, fish hook (Ka). Note that fish hook as one of the meanings here is significant in view of the fact that JS-161 mentions a derived Germanic form of this root which denotes: hooker = fishing boat.

155. kei I = move, rouse (JS-162).

The DR. seeed-words of this IE root are ka = to wake (1416-Pe); ka = to be awake (1416-Mand).

156. kei II = to lie down, sleep, settle, home, friendly, dear (JS-162-63).

Pei-147 defines this root as to lie, home, camp. The DR. seed-words of this IE root are ke = to lie down, repose (1990-Ka), and kelu = abode of a Pariah (Tu). Some other DR. elements are kedonuni = to lie down, rest (Tu); kidna = kidana = to allow or invite one to lie down for rest or sleep [[that is, being friendly]] (Kur); kide = to lie down (Malt). The derived Greek kheimai denotes: lie asleep (JS-162), ammocete = lamprey larva, lying in sand; cemetery = a sleeping-place (JS-162). Here note that the above noted Dravidian word kidna or kidana also denote: lay in the grave (1990-Kur).

Note also that settle and camp are also the meanings of this IE root which gave rise to Anglo-Saxon forms home, ham (as in the name Birmingham, Durham, etc., - Pei-147; in Lithuanian the word kemas denotes: a village). In this respect note the DR. seed-words kumpai = settlement (1732-Ta); kompe = small village or hamlet, hut (Ka); kombe = Kurumba village (Ka); kompa = house (Te); kumba = log-hut (Kur); kumbu = house (Kui). Note again that the place-names of a country point out the identity of the language in which they were given by thier speakers which in this case is Dravidian.

157. keiro, koiro = old, grey (JS-163).
