As a consequence of imposition of Kannada and translation of Tulu names into Kannada during and after the Vijayanagar period in Tulunad has altered the original meanings of some of the place-names.<BR/>Shall make a note on your point.Ravindra Mundkurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073231068374498281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-67892638604803083952008-08-08T16:06:00.000+05:302008-08-08T16:06:00.000+05:30Yes,right.

To be clear 'Puddar'is 'pudu'+'baar'(new grain).<BR/> And one thing we have to be very carefull while tracing a place name(espisally in Tulunad) is that we should not start from the kannada name but from the Tulu name itself. Eg.in the list of names,Ravi, you mentioned 'belman'.Where as the original name is 'bolman',as you mentioned later.<BR/> I stress this point because,it may be misleading in some instances.Eg.'Kuderebettu'.This is a small hamlet on the Mangalore-Bangalore high-way(NH-47),near Kalladka. Before Kannadization, the Tulu name was 'kudurubottu'. i.e.'kuduru'(island)+'bottu'(a type to field in the hills). Deviating from the root it has become 'kudere'(horse)+bettu(Kannadization of'bottu' meaning the same.)Ranjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12814974531601483602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-18821680389280228462008-07-20T12:18:00.000+05:302008-07-20T12:18:00.000+05:30You may be right!

The exact meaning of 'puthu' in Tulu/Dravida possibly lies somewhere between or combination of 'new' and 'favorite'.Ravindra Mundkurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073231068374498281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-91790991475106551362008-07-20T11:37:00.000+05:302008-07-20T11:37:00.000+05:30There are place names where puttUr act as second n...There are place names where puttUr act as second name or suffix. eg. mogrAl puttUr in Kasaragod and kOyamputtUr in Tamil Nadu. Why not people keeping a name like Mogral and Koyam and adding puttUr to indicate it's a new Ur? If you observe, we have a penchant for adding "new".
