palla - palle - palli
PALANA
I was scanning through the postings and forgot to mark the one with
the discussion on the word "palla" or "palli" and its absence in
North Indian languages (if I remember exactly).
I don't know about N.Indian languages but in Telugu it is used in a
variety of ways.
Let me give here below the various words with "pall."
1) palla - pa'la (from Sanskrit : pa'Talaha)
pa'Tala varNamu : eRupu ramgu
e.g. in a'muktama'lyada
"palla ciimala vakraBalla'takiyubOle neRRa duppaTi voppukaRReva'ni"
here "palla ciimal" = eRRa ciimala (red ants)
The common usage is "palla kaTTu" in Telugu
2) pallaki = the human-carried carriage = pa'laki or pa'lakI
In Sanskrit : palyamkaka'.
Also in Telugu pronounced as "pallakI" in addition to "pallaki".
(I don't think there is any relationship between the words 1 &2).
3) pallaTillu : duhKimcu; paritapimcu; cry; feeling sad
: eRRabaDu (face becoming red)
(Word 3 came from 1)
4) palli : (Sanskrit Origin)
= palle (village); balli (lizard)
palliya = cinna vooru
5) palle = also palliya
In Sanskrit : pallii (pallI)
In Kannada : haLLi
In Tamil : paLLi
= cinna vooru (small village)
= palleTooru; pallikooTamu
= palle
A small Sriina'dha's ca'Tuvu here:
cinna cinna ra'LLu cillaradEvuLLu
na'gulETi niiLLu na'para'LLu
sajja jonna kooLLu sarpambulunu dELLu
pallana'Tisiima palleTooLLu
Wheter "palla" is for red or "palle" or "palli" for village,
both have Sanskrit roots.
My mother's maiden name is "Rampalli" (ra'mpalli).
The other last names are :
isukapalli ra'LLapalli
krottapalli
kottapalli
There is a suburb in Berhampur, Orissa called "kommapalli" (komma'palli).
The King Mango is "Bamginipalli" (bamginipalli).
