Panchajanya is of 'five peoples' and hence denotes the language of

Bharatam Janam. The artificial division between Indo-Aryan and

Dravidian is false. See, for example the following etyma from indo-

aryan and dravidian which render panchajanya as a linguistic area, a

proto-bharatiya language community:

 

tira_unu (L.); ti_rayati finishes (Dha_tup.); ti_rita finished

(Mn.);

ti_re_ti accomplishes (Pali); ti_re_i, ti_rai finishes (Pkt.);

ti_rai

is able (Pkt.); ti_lita-dam.d.a_nam. of those on whom judgment has

been

passed (As'.)(CDIAL 5844).

 

Ta. ti_r (-v-, -nt-) to end, vanish, be completed, finished; tirvu

conclusion, end, removal, expiation, remedy; tirvai conclusion, end,

certainty, expiation, judgement.ti_ru settlement, discharge of a

claim

upon land (Ma.); ti.r to be settled (To.); ti_ra, ti_ru settlement

(Ka.); ti_rpari, ti_rupari judge (Te.)(DEDR 3278). isthir settled

(Santali.lex.)

 

These two examples of semantic clusters from the root ti_r 'finish'

may

also be related to 'ruling' or commonly used in the context of

settlement of land disputes by a judge.

 

Dhanyavaadah.
