Proto-Nilgiri : *ek-
Meaning : to count
Kota : ekm (obl. ekt-) "counting, taking account of something"
Toda : ökm (obl. ökt-) "arithmetic, account, figures"
Additional forms : Also Kota ekaṭ- (ekac-) to count (kaṭ- to tie); ekūṭ- (ekūc-) to count (kūṭ- to make to join, gather); ekmūṛ- (ekmūc-) to count
Notes : The root here is *ek-, as witnessed by the compound ek-mūṛ- (it should also be noted that a verbal root *e- "to count" would be highly improbable because of general laws of Dravidian root structure).
