<BR>கணேசன் ஐயா,
<BR>
<BR>சரியான உச்சரிப்பைச் சுட்டியமை மகிழ்வளிக்கிறது.
<BR>
<BR>இதே போல 'கேலி'யை gEli என்றும் 'காலி'யை (வெறுமை) gAli என்றும் பெரும்பாலோர் 
<BR>இந்நாளில் சொல்வதைக் கேட்கக் கைப்பாக இருக்கிறது.
<BR>
<BR>அன்புடன்
<BR>

<BR>>It's actually tevaram, not "devaram".
<BR>>To be exact, tEvAram.
<BR>>
<BR>>When someone calls devaram, it sounds like
<BR>>writing "balli" instead of "palli" (=wall-lizard).
<BR>>The "voicing" in balli, devaram may be OK
<BR>>for Telugu. But Tamils say it as tEvAram.
<BR>>Listen to any OtuvAmUrttikaL.
<BR>>
<BR>>Another funny thing is the habit of
<BR>>writing -g- invaribly wherever -k- occurs.
<BR>>For example, nowadays akam, pronounced as
<BR>>aham by Tamils, is written in english papers
<BR>>and on the net as agam!!!
<BR>>
<BR>>aTikaL, as in iLaGkO aTikaL, is written as
<BR>>aDihaL by V. R. Ramachandra Dikshitar
<BR>>in his Cilambu translation. Nowadays you
<BR>>see aDigaL!
<BR>>
<BR>>Monolingual Tamils pronounce Murukan as Muruhan.
<BR>>
<BR>>Food for thought.
