"Santhi"....what is that? can you explain it....is it "Sandhi" which means "Union" or "Santhi" the future tense of "be" verb.
Both are Samskritham words...if what you mean is different than these above, pls tell me what is that, I hope I can still get a Tamizh word for that...Sorry, if I had misunderstood. "To meet" or "union" is the tamil meaning. Can you give me an alternate word for this. In tamil grammar, when two words are combined, a character is added as a bridge. This is called as santhi. This word is mentioned in nannool. Of course there are words borrowed from sanskrit into tamil. But not these words. "Santhi" is the term used in Sanskrit grammar. The term in Tamil grammar is "punarcchi" (புணர்ச்சி), and the grammatical division dealing with these changes is called "punariyal".

You can also use "punarcchi" (and related words such as "punartal") in non-grammatical contexts, to refer to meeting or union. In ancient Tamil prosody, for example, one of the poetical divisions which dealt with one lover longing for the other and grieving over their separation was called புணராவிரக்கம் (punaravirakkam).
