ThuNukku - would that be oK?

Dear Idiappam Sir
I know about this "thunukku".Is it OK to be used in written Thamizh too? or is there another word for anecdote in Thamizh?

**Idiappam** · 14th January 2006, 03:51 AM

thuNukku is Tamil -- means literally - a piece, slice. Then came to be used for "narration".

sometimes as : thuNukkai, or thuNukkam

News piece - seithi thunukku,
anecdote (very short, bit) narration of a story, incident - kathai thunukkku.

also as:
"anecdote" = nodikkathai

Aryabatta : what is the etymology of the word
it sounds like ariya(rare)+ pattar (temple priest)

**bis_mala** · 1st February 2006, 05:33 AM

Aryabhata I (476-550 CE). name of a mathematician. There was another who lived about 400 years later.
BhaTa means a warrior.
bata is an interjection meaning astonishment.
Looks like there is no batta.
What's the correct spelling, if anyone is familiar with this term?
