nigama

[S. Kalyanaraman]

Hi,
Would appreciate further leads on the lexeme:

nigama the Veda or Vedic text; any passage or word quoted from the
Vedas, a Vedic sentence; a root (as the source of a word) (Skt.) This
lexeme is also used in Tamil to mean 'conclusion'.

In Tamil, nin-ai = to know, understand.

Would it be necessary to postulate the root ga_ to further unravel
nigama: as in nigantavya to be learnt (a_pastam.bha)?

Regards,
k.
