Sorry. In the above sentence, 'akamuTaiyAl' should be actually 'akamuTaiyAL'.
Online Tamil Lexicon also gives the following entries.
camucAram 01 1. cycle of mundane existence; worldly life; 2. family; 3.
wife
camucAri
1. married person, householder; 2. husbandman; farmer; 3. one involved in
the cycle of births as a result of karma
I have actually heard villagers use 'camcAri/camucAri' in the sense of
'farmer'.
