Dear Jonas,

In the attachment a short note about, among other things, the word payiṉ, for which I needed a rückläfiges dictionary of Tamil. It is the fourth of short notes on realia in Caṅkam poetry. It will be posted on my website next to the three already there. Thank you once more for the reference to the dictionary.

Herman 

Dear Herman,

the Chicago electronic version of the Tamil Lexicon (https://dsal.uchicago.edu/dictionaries/tamil-lex/) has a "words ending with" function. By using this function, quite a lot of nouns ending in -iṉ can be found. Many of them are obscure, but at least the words வயின் vayiṉ, "place", and கவின் kaviṉ, "beauty", are well attested in classical Tamil.

Best regards,
Jonas

Dear List members, or in particular those interested in Tamil,

I would like to know if there is a "reverse" (rückläufiges) dictionary of Tamil. I am looking for free nouns ending in -iṉ (thus not niṉ, the oblique of the second person singular pronoun).

Herman.
