Nilgiri etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Nilgiri : *kiḷĭ (?)
Meaning : parrot
Kota : kiḷy vaky
Toda : kiḷy
Notes : The word looks very much like a recent borrowing from Tamil. First, external data suggest an initial *g-, which is not present in Kota. Second, in Toda one would rather expect a form like *kɨɫ̣y.
