INDEX TO PLACE NAMES IN THE INSCRIPTIONS |
||||
This Index is a list of Place names (P.) in the Corpus. The listing is in the Tamil alphabetical order. The inscriptional forms are listed in col. 1 in bold. Emendations or corrections (as in the Commentary) are in normal type within brackets. Case-endings in the original are omitted. Reference Numbers (as in the Commentary) are given in col. 2. Toponyms based on geographical features serve as place names or are affixed to them. An alphabetical list of such words with their lexical meanings is added in a separate list at the end of this Index. Place names which have been identified are shown in Map I, ETE 2.
