Nilgiri etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Nilgiri : *jaṇĭl
Meaning : squirrel
Kota : ēṇḍḷ
Toda : aṇil
Notes : Long -ē- in Kota is most probably compensatory, and -ḍ- - a secondary epenthesis (in PSDR the word certainly had nothing more than a *-ṇ- in the inlaut position). In Toda the vowel -i- was preserved due to a peculiar consonant surrounding. The correspondence "Kota e (ē) : Toda a" is practically the same as in the root for 'tortoise' q.v., and reflects PN *ja- < PSDR *C-ja-.
