The easiest way it to look up the search facility of the Indology/Tamil
Insitute at Cologne


http://www.uni-koeln.de:80/phil-fak/indologie/tamil/mwd_search.html


based on the Monier Williams Dict.  -- I checked out 'wheat' some months
ago, and got some 40-odd terms (including, of course, wheat flour, all
sorts of cakes, etc.)
Then do the reverse and look up the Skt.terms for a countercheck of the
range of meanings...

Otherwise, Monier Williams', V.S.Apte's and other Engl.- Skt. dict.,  and
K.Mylius' German-Skt. dict. ; all limited in number of words quoted, of
course.


Now, also the Skt/ French (-Skt.) dictionary by Gerard Huet:

or go directly to its index (search facility) :
