Dear Dr. Krishnamurti, In a message dated 98-01-19 03:50:58 EST, you write: << Also notice that the contracted form of kuyawa occurs as ko: within Ta.Kota, Toda and Kannada. Emeneau derives the name Kota from the potter word, ko:v 'a Kota man'. >> Do you have the reference for this work by Emeneau? Regards S. Palaniappan
