After Some time, may write about Arabic words which have direct & shrinked roots of tamil.

Many scholars are taking care about only direct words. They always fit tamil grammar into the word evolution and word comparison which shall not fundamentally suit in word archeology. They can only find direct words.

But, naturally dialect shrinkages & phonetical aspects only help new language formation.

Dear Tamizhvanan,

Greek & Latin words-most of them have only tamilroots. Most of the present English words roots through greek / Latin can be traced to tamil.

Thiru. Gnanakiri Nadar's book on tamil roots in Greek & Latin shall give some light.

NVK Asraf have mentioned some words. But I find most of the Arabic words have tamil roots.

For example,

frequenetly used words of Arabs :

English-Arabic-tamil pattern :

I know- 'Ana arif' - Naan Ariva

Your box - Intha santhuk - Unthen chanthu (petti)

Come - ThaaZh - Vaa / Thaa

100 percent true - Miya Miya - Mey mey /Norukku nooru

Throw - Ermi - Eari

Tight - rakkap - Thiruku / Irukku

Beat - Aththeen - Adi

top - Foke, alae, Arapha - pokku, Alai , Appal / Appa

Waste way - kalli Vazhi - Kazhi Vazhi (Kazhi Vazhi turned 'kai veli' -a place for wastes in chennai tamil)

And goes on. I may write about this after some time.
