If you use the "puNarchi" rules of grammar, it should be kal+thi = kaRRi. Such rule had not yet been formulated as yet when the word kaththi was formed or it was not followed, as it occurred in other words too.

So, you mean grammar was first formulated and then based on that we started forming words?That is tholkappiyam was written even before any other literary ventures?
