Some Origins of Kota -j
Brahui etymologies and phonetic developments
1. Bray's excellent work (1909, 1934) on Brahui, the Dravidian language spoken, so improbably, in Baluchistan, could not help but be used to the full by Burrow and myself in our 35 years of work on Dravidian etymologies. My very short contact, no more than eight hours, with Brahui speakers at the Chanhu-daro excavation early in 1936 (Emeneau, 1937) had stimulated me and provided a background for intensive etymological study based on Bray's materi…
Dravidian Studies
It contains 27 articles on Dravidian subjects. Of these 27, 23 deal with linguistic topics, several ranging through the Dravidian family as a whole; others concentrate on specific languages, such as Toda, Kota Kodagu, Brahui, but all attempt to fit specific language data into the comparative study the languages of the family

Tamil expressives with initial voiced stops
In colloquial Tamil the form-class of expressives includes some items which have in each member of a reduplicated pair an initial voiced stop, alongside many with initial voiceless stops. This is unlike the form-classes of nouns and verbs which have in initial position only voiceless stops, except for some borrowings from Sanskrit or other sources. The writing system has no provisions for such initial voiced stops, except for a very few items wit…

The Young Wife and Her Husband's Brother
Textual problems are presented by devikdmd in the marriage verses RV 10.85.44 and AV 14.2.1718; problems of interpretation are presented by these verses and also by the occurrence of devfin RV 10.40.2. These problems we hope we have solved, or at least eased, by consideration of the social structure involved in the niyoga institution described in the smrti texts, the similar custom seen in many communities in present-day North India, and the rela…

Toda vowels in non-initial syllables
It has been observed (Emeneau (1957), 63-4) that Toda and Kota show loss of many vowels in the non-initial syllables of reconstructed proto-Dravidian (PDr.) or proto-South Dravidian (PSDr.) forms. An attempt was made to state a rule as follows: 'every non-initial syllable of PSDr. (or perhaps PDr.) that has a short vowel loses its vocalic peak in Toda; vowels of all qualities are lost except that *i > y'. Exceptions were noted, and an attempt was…

The Vowels of the Badaga Language
The Badagas of the Nilgiri Hills in South India are a community numbering some 40,000 and comprising seven sub-castes. They are known to be immigrants from Mysore state, having appeared on the Nilgiris some five or six centuries ago. Their language is certainly an offshoot of Kannaḍa, as is shown by its having in common with modern Kannaḍa among other features initial h instead of p of other Dravidian languages. A. N. Narasimhia, in The history o…
Onomatopoetics in the Indian Linguistic Area
In two of the language families of India, Dravidian and Indo-Aryan, there is a common pattern of onomatopoetics, in their formation and also in part in their syntactic use, with proliferation of items in most of the languages for which there is adequate information. Comparison, based on the etymological dictionaries of the two families, yields some forty areal etymologies, i.e. overlapping which provides what within a single family would be consi…
Taboos on Animal Names
[Reexamination of the problem of taboo on animal names, with special reference to the IE names for the bear. Addition of the Dravidian words for ‘tiger’. The hypothesis of mere avoidance of animal names by hunters does not explain; it is probable that in almost all cases a religious attitude is to be looked for.]

Style and Meaning in an Oral Literature
The songs of the Todas, a small Dravidian-speaking community of the Nilgiri plateau in South India, have by this time been reported on twice, and an attempt has been made (in the second report) at a sociological interpretation. Preparation of a corpus of 260 texts for publication has involved indexing, and it is now possible to undertake a stylistic analysis

Dravidian Kinship Terms
[Proto-Dravidian had a class of kinship nouns which occurred only in the possessed construction (inalienably possessed) ; this probably was a syntactic rather than a morphological construction. The personal and reflexive pronouns which occurred as attributes in this construction were only the plural ones; distinction of number in the possessor was not indicated, and could be gathered only from the context. The evidence is drawn from Old Tamil, Ko…
Language and Non-Linguistic Patterns
An essential part of Bloomfield's definition of linguistic forms and constructions is the attachment to them of stimulus-reaction features, which are his definition of meaning. The linguistic scholar is still bedeviled by the many problems involved in talking about meaning, and he still lacks a body of dogma to which he can refer when meaning is talked about. This paper is an attempt to explore one of the problems and to establish a postulate whi…

Phonetic Observations on the Brāhūi Language
In January of 1936 Dr. Ernest Mackay, director of the excavation of the American School of Indic and Iranian Studies at Chanhudaro, courteously arranged that I should have the use of a Brāhūī speaker and an interpreter for a number of sessions. The Brāhuāī, Dad Muhammad by name, belongs to the Nīchārī tribe of the Jhalawān division of the Brāhūīs. Some confirmatory note s were made as well with the aid of another of the Brāhūī speakers working at…

Elamite and Dravidian
This paper presents the correspondences in verbal morphologies to support the existing lexical and other morphological evidence (reported elsewhere) that the Dravidian language family is closely cognate with Elamite. It uses primarily Achaemenid Elamite, for which the most detail is available, and in particular the description of the verb given by R. T. Hallock. A great deal of use is made of Dravidian Ver Morphology by P. S. Subrahmanyam. For on…
Studies in Dravidian Verb Stem Formation
A. Voice derivation, with special attention to the intransitive suffix *-Vr-, which is productive in Kurux and Malto, and occurs as a relic elsewhere in Dravidian. B. The plural action bases of Pengo-Kuwi, and their occurrence as relic forms elsewhere in Dravidian, with special reference to Gondi, Konda, and Kurux-Malto. C. The motion bases of PengoKuwi; their origin in the non-past suffix *-kk-/*-k-. D. The personal object bases of Pengo-Kuwi; t…

Oral Poets of South India
The student of the earliest literary works of our Western culture, those of Greece, soon learns that not all of them are literature in the strict sense. The Homeric poems are not works that were composed with the aid of writing materials. They bear within themselves very patently the marks of oral composition and recitation, and the Greek traditions about them are hardly intelligible on any other interpretation. European poetry, however, soon exc…
The Dravidian Verbs 'Come' and 'Give
1. In the better known South Dravidian languages, the verb system is such that two principal parts, or two stems, suffice as a basis on which the whole system may be built. The second stem is in general derivable from the first by the addition of a suffix *-i - or a suffix containing a dental stop (sometimes disguised by morphophonemic alternations), and is the basis for the past tense alone, or, in some of the languages, for present-future and p…

Confusion in Prakrit between the Sanskrit Prepositions prati and pari
SANSKRIT prati is represented in Prakrit normally by pa1i (P 218)1 or occasionally by pai (P 220). pari generally remains unchanged, but in MagadhI and other Prakrits which come under this head (P 23-25) often becomes pali (P 256-257). In this paper I shall collect a number of cases from the published literature in which Sanskrit pari is represented by Prakrit pa4i and suggest a reason for the equivalence. Pischel knew several such cases but he e…
An Interpolation in some MSS. of the Bṛhatkathāmañjarī
At the end of their edition of K's Brhatkathā-mañjarī ( Kāvyamālā 69) Śivadatta and Parab print an appendix of 78 ślokas , which purports to be the twenty-fourth story of the Vetālapañcavimśati. It was not found in their MSS. but was supplied to them by T. S. KuppūsvāmĪ from a Tanjore MS. Speyer in his “Studies about the Kathāsaritsāgara” ( Verh. d. K. Ak. v. Wetenschappen te Amsterdam, Afd. Lett. , N.R. viii, 5, p. 14, n. 1) says that he has “a …

The Dialect of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia
[An account is given of the German background of the present English dialect, and of the phonological, syntactic, and lexical peculiarities of the dialect. German influence is to be seen in the syntax and in that part of the vocabulary which represents ‘relational concepts’. In the sphere of ‘basic concepts’ the vocabulary is now almost free from German influence. One of the phonological peculiarities, viz. the treatment of r final or followed by…

A Story of Vikrama's Birth and Accession
THE Vetdlapancavinsati in its various Sanskrit versions shows a considerable number of interpolations. Some of these are found only in one manuscript or group of manuscripts, others have become integral parts of a version. One of the former type will be presented in this article, and another will be described. These will complete the list of all such insertions which have been found in available manuscripts. Consequently, it seems useful to class…

Toda Garments and Embroidery
THE GARMENTS worn by Toda men are three in number: the [kutu: n] or perineal cloth, the [torp] or waisteloth, and the [pu:txulj] or cloak. Women wear the latter two. Rivers' has given pictures of the various ways in which the [pu :txulj] is worn. Men wear the [torp] by carrying one of the long edges completely round the waist and tucking the end of this edge in at the left side, letting the garment fall straight to the knees (Rivers, fig. 15, p. …

An Echo-Word Motif in Dravidian Folk-Tales
IN THE Indian Antiquary 14 (1885), 79-81, S. M. Natesa Sastri Pandit published an English translation of a Tamil folk-tale which is built around a word-play. Linguistic work in South Indian has provided me with versions of this tale in three separate Dravidian languages, Kota, Coorg, and Toda, and the material now at hand is sufficient for a presentation of the motif employed in these stories and an analysis of the stories themselves. The motif I…

A Further Note on the Dialect of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia
In LANG. 11.140-7 some notes were presented on the English dialect of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. On pp. 146-7 there was given a handful of words still in more or less general use which are survivals of the original German speech of the inhabitants of this town. Recently another interesting word which still preserves great vitality has returned to my memory
