      One is at a loss to know the sanction by which such Sanskrit compounds as rakti™—…vi s)annipƒda s)uram, pariyanuy†cciy† p„k™a–am, jahada jahallak™–ai, and spadikajabƒ kusuma niyƒyam have been admitted into the Tamil Lexicon.

      The fact that Tamil Nadu was under Muhammadan rule for a time does not justify in the least the inclusion of Urdu or Semitic words in the Lexicon, as the land had also been under the sway of the Singalese, the Andhras, Maharattas, the British, the French, the Portuguese and the Dutch, at different times either wholly or partially.
