Q. avattam ********** I looked in the University of Koeln - IITS web site for the Tamil word, "avattam". Its meaning is "evil, calamity". I need a textual occurence of "avattam" where this word has the abovesaid meaning. Can someone look it up in Madras university Tamil Lexicon and give a sentence from a relevent reference? Thanks, N.
