Dont you see the possibility that tholkappiyam is misinterpreted by us. Please refer to what iraamaki says on this. I had given the link in one of my replies.

That is quite interesting - I hadn't read the article earlier because I mostly use Linux and Tamil unicode is impossible to read on Linux (Linux can't render the uyirmey letters in the right order). I've read it now, and whilst this interpretation is quite fascinating, I still have some difficulty believing that the traditional interpretation is wrong. I'll need to think about it for a while.

You still havent answered my question. Please explain the morphology of sanskrit and explain how it is a sanskrit word.

I 'm not a Sanskrit grammarian, you'll have to ask someone who is. I was operating under the assumption that it could not have been a classical Tamil word because of the conventional understanding of the Tolkappiyam.
