Proto-Nilgiri : *pat_-
Meaning : to catch
Kota : pat_- (pac-) "to catch, seize, hold, hold out, be obstinate, resolve, (fire) catches; suit, please"
Toda : pat_- (pat_y-) "to seize, catch, touch, marry (woman), (bull) covers cow"
Additional forms : Also Kota pat_, pat_l act of seizing; etc.; at_- (ac-) to seize firmly, persist (in doing); pat- (paty-) to become stuck fast; at- (aty-) to climb; fight; paty concerning; Toda öt- (öty-) to stick to; climb
Notes : Both Kota pat- and at- seem to be Kannada borrowings. Toda öt- has been inserted here by B&E but is absolutely irregular; semantic contamination with *et- "to raise"???
