Dravidian etymology : List with all references

Proto-Dravidian : *aḍV́-

Meaning : to be near; to happen

Proto-South Dravidian: *aḍu- ~ *aḍai-

Proto-Telugu : *aḍ-a-

Proto-Gondi-Kui : *aḍ-

Proto-North Dravidian : *aṭ-g-

Notes : SDR languages show significant evidence for two bases: *aḍú- ("be near to, approach") and *aḍái- ("reach, arrive, obtain"). Kannada and Tamil also have a monosyllabic stem *aṭ- "to put, place", but this is possibly the result of contamination with *anṭ- "to join, stick, paste". Cf. also *aḍ-[úŋ]- "to be piled up, arranged" which may be a historical derivative of the same root. PNDR *aṭ-g- < *aḍV́-k-. // Present in 4/6 branches.
