deva/deiva/theivam, is the root for these the tamil word thee (fire), it is clearly known that we were all nature worshippers, and fire was one of the most sacred (scared too) item of worship, not just in Indian context but else where too. So is it likely that the fire worship resulted in the words deva/deiva/theivam ?
