Proto-Dravidian : *mej-
Meaning : to praise, admire, be pleased with
Notes : Deeply buried by Burrow/Emeneau within *mar- 'to combine, join' ( > 'to fit, to consent' > 'to be pleased with'), but actually quite different both phonetically and semantically. Tamil meyccu, for one thing, can in no way be traced back to *mar-cu.
