Original Father of Dravidian Speakers - VIII

 Original Dravidian : 

mother: aayi 

Now found mostly among central Indian Dravidian tribes and Marathis and Konkanis. Among Marathis and Konkanis it could be Dravidian maternal lineages or Dravidian substrate. Its usage among some of the Kannada castes is due to Maratha influence in northern Karnataka region. Ironically, the term which was lost but reappeared because of non-Dravidian speakers.

So, the equivalent should be 'aaya' for father. Now observed only in Telugu as 'nayana'(my father).

Dravidian mixed with Harappan:

mother: amma, appa

father: appa, amma

Dravidian+Harappan mixed with Prakrits:

father: accha, ayya (equivalent to 'arya')

Others:

avva: most likely derived from 'amma'

akka, anna: result of consanguineous marriages

Ab ke hum bichray he... by Ahmad Faraz / Mehdi Hassan

 

After we say good-bye this time,

we may only meet in dreams...

Quite like dried up flowers

sometimes turn up in books...

 

Go, search for loyalty

among troubled and lost people...

These rare jewels will possibly

be found among these and no where...

 

You are not God,

and neither is my love divine...

When the two are human,

then why the need to hide behind veils....

 

Bring other troubles of this world,

and mix with the pain of your beloved....

Intoxication mounts up, just like

on mixing different drinks together...

 

After we say good-bye this time,

we may only meet in dreams...

Quite like dried up flowers

sometimes turn up in books...
