Neri Tamil Meaning

Now looking at the meanings we see that the meaning of ‘tur' remains the same as Ta. Where tur, tul, tun means ‘small, fine' and metaphorically ‘evil' etc. The Tamil tur-umbu means something small.

Sanskrit is Dravidian and NOTIndo-Aryan

Dr K.Loganathan. 15-10-10

Dear Friends

While Sumerian literature hasbeen studied for more than a century, it has been a surprise to me that whileit was recognizedit is neitherIndo-European nor Semitic, it has not been recognized as Tamil but certainly anArchaic form of it. This has led to the immense negligence of its relevance tothe study of ancient Indian languages and cultures. It has also led tooverlooking the fact that Rigkrit ( Sanskrit) is also another variant of thisSumeruTamil and hence just as much Dravidian as Tamil is.

After reasonably extensivestudies of Sumerian texts and a variety of texts in Rigkrit and Sanskrit I wantto put up these claims for the consideration of scholars interested in suchtopics.

The studies that I want tomention briefly are linguistic where I want developed Aspcets of EvolutionaryLinguistics such as Uri Linguistics Viri Linguistics and which are differentfrom the reconstructive linguistics such as PIE.

My First Claim is :

Neri Meaning In Tamil

Sumerian is Archaic Tamil andpossibly the Tamil of the First Sangkam (Academy).

In order to substantiatethisI can site many studies –lexicalgrammatical and so forth that I have already referred and if necessary I canalways repeat, Just to cite a simple exampleI take the following sentence from Sulgi Hymn B (C. 2000BC)

13. tur-mu-de e-dub-ba-a-a am( Since my very youth, I belonged to edubba)

The Tamil reconstructionwould be :

Ta. tur-mutee il tubbaiya aaaam ( Since my very youth I attended the tablet house(school))

In this reconstruction , inphonology morphology and semantics and so forth, the basic utti-s constitutingthe Viri Linguistics are already there. Here let me overlook the problemsabout transcription of the cuneiform texts where some refinements arerequired but not a fundamental revision. For example ‘e' is rewritten as‘il' and which can be incorporated in future readings of the Sumerianitself. Leaving aside such issues for the time being, let me come to thediscussion of the utti-s relevant to the issue.

1.

The Phonological Utti-s

Here we have ‘mude' renderedas ‘mutee' with the mapping of ‘d' into ‘t' and ‘e' into ‘ee' . The root ofthis could be Su. mus (the foundation, the initial etc) and hence also s >d. t etc.

We have also ‘a' as > Ta.aa (to become) and am> Ta. aam ( a particle of affirmation etc). Here whilethe ‘–a' in e-dub-ba-a' is rendered as ‘y-a', the next ‘a' and ‘am' arerendered as ‘aa aam' i.e. with the long vowel. Here we note that ‘y' might havebeen present but the script was defective for symbolizing it. It could havebeen read as such but not rendered accurately in the script.

We notice that ‘tur' remainsthe SAME both in phonological shape and meaning

We also have ‘dub' renderedas ‘tub' where we have d > t , something we see also in Sumerian itself e.g dug and tuk

2.

The Semantic Utti-s

Now looking at the meaningswe see that the meaning of ‘tur' remains the same as Ta. where tur, tul, tunmeans ‘small, fine' and metaphorically ‘evil' etc. The Tamil tur-umbu meanssomething small , tul-li-yam means something fine, minute etc. Tur-neRi is the‘little way', the evil way in semantic implications.

The ‘mude' has become Ta.mutee and mutalee as in ‘akaram mutala ezuttellaam ( KuRal 200 AD). The Mutualso means ancient old etc. The ‘mutal' also means the foundation, the basisetc. In all these we see a family of semantic relationships that are linked toeach with some meanings, perhaps the metaphorical as historically later. Themost primordial meaning may be that of Su. mus, the foundation, the basis etc.

3.

The Morphological utti-s

Now we notice that ‘dub' or‘dub-ba' has the Tamil equivalent of Tubbu, the clue, the sign etc that has tobe read or deciphered as in tuppu tulangkaL etc. Now we can also see somegrammatical operations: dub-ba> bud-da > buddi (Ta. putti) ; intelligenceetc. What we have here is metathesis along with the birth of an associatedmeaning – from a tablet of knowledge to that of intellect of intelligence. Wecan also see the possible derivation: dub-ba> bud-da> poti and il-dub-ba>poti-il, the famous centre in the ancient Madurai where the Tamil Academyis said to have functioned. The 'poti-il' may actually be ‘il-tub-bu' butdistorted or extended somewhat in meaning

Here we also notice theSAMNESS of meaning in relation to ‘tur' ‘a or aa' ‘am or aam' etc.

Thus the Semantic Utti-sbring out both the SAMENESS in meaning as well DIFFERENCE but where thedifference can be explained in terms of historical evolution of various kinds.

4.

The Grammatical Utti-s

Now when we take up ‘e-dub-ba-a'and render it as Ta. il tubbaiya we have ‘-a' as the Tamil genitive.locative suffix '-a' that is also widely present in C. Tamil and with samegrammatical function. The ‘am' and Ta. aam are almost the same in grammaticalfunction – an enclitic of agreement, emphasis etc.

Now in the clause ‘tur-mu-de'we have an identity in grammatical function in the word order: akara mutal,iLamai mutalee etc. Here the 'mu-de' is an adverb of time(?) and the same wordorder holds in Tamil as well. Now in ‘e-dub-ba' we see a different word order -in fact the reversal – tubbaiya il etc. This is one of theDIFFERENCES in grammar and which is rule governed. While there isagreement in having the formative ‘-a' as the adjectival format, ( nall-a maintain( good man), peri-a viidu ( big house) while in Tamil it is before the Noun inSumerian it is post the qualified noun. For example e-gal-la > Ta. ilkaLLa> kaLLa il etc.

The rule is : N1 ^ N2-a >N2-a ^ N1

Now my second claim is :

Rigkrit(Sanskrit) has ArchaicTamil (SumeruTamil)as it's baselanguagewhere we have to apply thevarious kinds of Utties of Uri Linguistics to recover the base form

The following is an exampleof it:

This isthe second Sloka of Rig Veda 1.1

agnih puurvebhir rishibhir idyo nuutanair uta/ sadevam eha vakshati

May the adorable God, eternally adorned by the seersof times, past and present, be a source of inspiration to wise men of all ages.

The BASETamilform is :

*Ta. angki-a: puurvee-ba-ere (e)ri-si-ba-ere iidiyoonuuta-na-ere uuta/ saa teyvam eeka vaku-si-ati

Oh The adorable (and beautiful) One! Bless the newlyemerging bright persons so that they would go ahead in divine pursuits like the bright ones of the ancient times without any disruption ( inthis tradition)

Notes: The infixes ‘ba' and ‘na' are third personpronominal infixes which are still available in Tamil

Just to give an example of the derivation of Tamilbase,we can cite the followingderivation:

puurvebhir , rishibhir

The mostinteresting morphological element here is 'bhir' and which iscertainly a later development of Su. ba-e-re as in the followinglines

Sir

21. ni-me-lam u-lu-da nam-lu-u-lu ( Whenmankind comes before you)

22. ni-me -gar-hus-bi u-mu-re-gin (In fear andtrembling at (your ) tempestuous radiance)

23. me-ta me-hus-bi su ba-e-re-ti (They receive from you their just deserts)

* Ta. nii meLLam vizuta uLuuLunam

* Ta. nooy mey kaal ush(Na)bi uu maar kan(al)

* Ta. meyttu mey ush(Na)bi cuur (av)varee ti

The grammatical complex 'ba-e-re' ( they) isderived from two more basic words 'ba' ( person) and e-ne > e-re( Ta.inam: a group of people or creatures). The 'ba' as meaning a person stillexists in Indonesia and in Malay it exists as' bapa' (father) perhapsto be derived from 'ba-apa' where Su 'aba' ( as a variant of ama:mother) and Ta. appaa means 'father'.

In Tolkaappiyam we have '-ba' alone as a pluralperson marker as Ta. en-ba ( say-they). We also have '-manaar' as in'en-manaar pulavar' ( the scholars say-they ..)

It is clear that Sk -bhir above is a late variant ofthe more primitive ' ba-e-re' that exists also in Tamil as'peer' meaning people.

We can also mention here that Su. mu-re that occurs inthese sentences is of a similar genesis (< mu-e-re) and which exists as Ta.maar, ( and 'manaar') the plural person marker in verb morphology.This also exists in Malay as 'mereka' ( they)

The 'ri-shi' may be taken as a Su. (e)ri-ji or(e)ri-si meaning persons who are illuminated, bright, intelligent and soforth. Perhaps from this original sense emerged the secondary notion of'seers'.

The 'puurvee' can be linked with'puu-uru-ee' where 'Ta. puu meaning to emerge, flower , arise etc. andhence as secondary sense , the point of origin which is more frequentlymentioned in Sumerian as ul-li ( Ta. uuzi). It exists in Ta. as puurvam (the ancient times) and may also be linked with Ta. puraaNam, mythologicaltales.( , puur-aaNa- am : ancient tales of gods))

Withmorestdies such as these we can also identify the various kinds of utties that arelisted above for Viri Linguistics making the whole enterprise somethingscientific, a kind of Utti Science.

For more such studies please see:

Concluding Remarks:

If my claims areacceptable then it would follow that not only Sumerian is Archaic Tamilbut also Rigkrit and Sk variants of it wherebecause they have undergone many changes we have to apply the utties of uriLinguisticsto recover the BASE form andwhich is Archaic Tamil. This implies that including Sk as belonging to theIndo-European family of languages is NOTvalid and hence also the study of Proto Indo European languages as such. There are NOIndian languages relatedto the European languages.This may alsoimply that AIT etc is not valid. It has to be replaced with Sumerian MigrationTheory and so forth.
