தமிழ்
Тамилски
Etymology
According to Bhadriraju Krishnamurthi (2003), earlier recorded as Пали damiḷa. Даља етимологија непозната. Изнете су разне хипотезе. Главни сматрају ову реч неком врстом сложенице:
- K. V. Zvelebil (1990) proposes that தமிழ் (tamiḻ) is derived from the verb தகு (taku, “to fit properly”) with the evolution tak- > tav- > tam-.[1]
- Koskinen (1996) нагађа везу са именом лотосовог цвета தாமரை (tāmarai),[2] attested also with the variant தம்மி (tammi), and having cognates in Малајалам താമര (tāmara), Kannada ತಾಮರೆ (tāmare), Tulu ತಾಮರೆ (tāmare) and Telugu తామర (tāmara).
- Southworth (1998) suggests a derivation like *tam-miẓ > tam-iḻ “one's own speech”, considering the final part as a reduced form of மொழி (moḻi, “word, speech”).[3]
However, there are problems with each of these attempts. The sounds -k- and -v- are nowhere attested as variants; moreover, the underlying form of மொழி (moḻi) is Proto-Dravidian *moẓ-, not *miẓ-.[4] Етимологија речи стога остаје непозната.
