agaraathi - gets its coinage because words
are arranged 'beginning in agaram' (alphabet) agaramudhali enpadhu adhan sendhamizh vadivam.
prototype? mun-madhiri?
stereotype - pazhagiya padivam?
irony - muraN enbadhe sari. In fact I have
heard dramatic irony getting translated as "Naadaga muraN"
araitha mavu for cliche - is excellent lateral thinking. I like your approach of looking beyond the words into their meanings and coming back with equivalents.
BTW, What is the word for 'lateral thinking'?

There is a beautiful thamizh dictionary called
'Tharkaala thamizh agaraathi' published by
Kriya Bangalore. I have seen it but do not
have a copy. It is really a marvelous research
publication compiled around 1991-93. It lists a lot of coloquial words and usages.
what is the word for 'specialization' as in
work specialization?

maybe, thesarus could be also translated as 'poruLagaraathi' - because a thesarus groups
words by their meanings. The synonym function
is not as important as the overall framework, whereby you get words closer in meaning next
to each other in the list and in adjacent pages.
Roget's thesarus was converted into
a dictionary format only later.

Rjay,
Specialization as a word means "thaniththanmai".
But I guess it is not adequate for your context.
Chandra?
Also. I came across these two words recently.
Variety - vagaimai ( I bet there are other simple words for variety)
Index - AttavaNai.

Chandra, Rjay, and Gokul,
thanks for your further scrutiny. I have always wondered if there were Thamizh equivalents for non-primary colors.
Are there words for Brown,Purple,Burgundy,violet, etc.?
I know we have kili pachchai and ilaip pachchai to differentiate shades. But I have only heard "mara niram" to express brown. Is there a better word?

brown - pazhuppu
oodhA - violet
karunIlam - indigo
kAvi - orange (saffron)
As for other colors, I cannot recall immediately
the equivalent Tamil words.
Other please pitch in!
