Nilgiri etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Nilgiri : *bōṛ-
Meaning : shaved
Kota : bōḷ "complete shaving of head"
Toda : pōṇ- (pōṇy-) "to shave, clear (a way, growth on site)"
Additional forms : Also Kota bōḷṇ, bōḷmaṇḍṇ man with head completely shaved because of vermin; fem. bōḷy, bōḷmanj; bōḷ ī meyṇ son of man with bald head, etc. (abusive)
Notes : The final -ḷ in Kota bōḷ is irregular (*bōy would be expected). Either it is there under the influence of derivates like bōḷṇ < *bōṛ-ǝn, or all the forms have to be considered borrowings (from Tulu? Kannada only has forms with -ṛ-).
