Terminology
[edit]I came across your correction in the article Malankara Church. Regarding translation of the Malayalam words. Pazhayakuuttu and Puthenkuuttu - according to present Malayalam dictionaries and 1872 Dictionary by Gundert, the word “kuuttu” means friendship or union. Nowhere I could see the meaning, as “rite”.Neduvelilmathew (talk) 17:58, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
- I borrowed the meaning for this particular instance, from the preface of 'Niranam Grandavary'.. At any rate, the word 'koor' can be interpreted in different ways... But 'Party' is not at all the correct word and appropriate one.
What you did check in the dictionary is കുട്ടു = Friendship.
(If your browser has Malayalam font installed, you can read the below)
കുട്ടു = Friendship (കുട്ടുകെട്ടു)
കൂര് = അടുപ്പം (One meaning) eg: "എനിക്ക് കോണ്ഗ്രസ് പാര്ടിയോട് ആണ് കൂര്"
Can you please search the word,'koor' in the dictionary and not 'kuttu'.
കൂര് എന്നാ വാക്കിന്റെ 500 കൊല്ലം മുന്പ് ഉള്ള അര്ഥം, തന്നെ ആകണം ഇന്നും എന്നില്ല... എന്റെ അഭിപ്രായത്തില് ഇത് കാതോലികര്, മലങ്കര നസ്രാണികളെ താഴ്ത്തി കാണിക്കാന് കണ്ടു പിടിച്ച ഒരു വാക്ക് മാത്രം ആണ് .. അത് കൊണ്ട്, "rite" എന്നാ പ്രയോഗം ആണ്, ഒരു "പാര്ട്ടി" എന്നാ പ്രയോഗത്തിലും നല്ലത് ... Credit Risk (talk)
Hi, Credit risk
- Thanks for your prompt reply. The “tt” in the word “kuttu” sounds like ‘t’ in cat or sat; not like “tt” in butter or cutter.
- What does the word Koor means in the names of the two anciect kingdoms Thekumkoor or Vadkumkoor? There are house names in Kerla like Vadakkeykuttu and Thekkeykuttu. What does the word “kuttu” means here?
- The correct meaning of the word is not what is known now, but what it was when used for the first time by the Portuguese bishops around 1758.
- Preface of 'Niranam Grandavary' that I have, was written in the twentieth century. Neduvelilmathew (talk) 18:10, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
