Dear Mr.Roshan,

Thank you for your information. I have downloaded 'tamil fonts' and am able to read Mr. geno's passage in this column.

Dear Mr.geno,

'Angadi', 'Angaththinar' are old words and why did Bharathiyar delete this word 'angaththinar ? The word 'Uruppu' might be getting sound when added with 'Aali'- like 'Ulzhaipali'.

But there are some tamils like R.C.Sakthi , a director in tamil cinema once wrote that he could not get equivalent best word for 'Sparisam'- . He did not know the word 'silirpu'

A great story writer like Geyakkanthan could not find the equivalent word for 'pravakam' which he considered the best word to reveal the situation of uncontrollable 'Unarchi'.

No tamil knows 'Pravakam'. He added 'Unarchi pravakam' which was the correct word to specify what he means to say as a situation in his story. 'Unarchi'-karaipuralthal, unarchi kattukadangathathu were not in his interest.

The equivalent word for 'Ragasiam' is 'kamukkam' which is old but used now only in colloquial language may not get attraction in the mind of modern story tellers / killers.

I have not had the chances of reading stories / novels of present day writers and I have escaped from these killers. I don't know How tamil is killed.

My point here is true devoters like Bharathiyar can only reemancipate tamil.
