The Word "Enmanar" Used in Tolkappiyam
தொல்காப்பியத்தில் பயின்று வழங்கிய என்மனார் என்னுஞ் சொல்
Abstract
Among the existing Tamil grammar texts, Tolkappiyam stands alone as the most ancient in terms of time and the one enriched with numerous commentaries. In this text, many rare words appear - some that were transmitted to author Tolkappiyar by ancient scholars, and others that Tolkappiyar himself created. In this manner, the word "Enmanar" which appears in seventy-three places in Tolkappiyam is the subject matter that this article has undertaken to examine.
