If you're looking for good Tamil words, try "uttiyOkacAlai" or "toziRcAlai", both of which I've heard used in TN.

Incubator could be

Adai Kaakkum Karuvi

If it is something more complex with some built-in equipment, you can always call it a karuvi...

The test for differentiation appears to be: Does the so-called "karuvi" do anything more sophisticated than the "kuruvi".(adaikaakkum kuruvi).

My dear Friends,

There is another Thread quite COMPREHENSIVE on this important Tpic well-relevent to Modern-culture for contemporary days practice in the day to day affairs... either in Office or Business or Common-chat.

I have raised certain IMPORTANT PRACTICAL QUESTIONS there several months back.... in that Thread:

"PRESERVE AND NURTURE TAMIL-LANGUAGE.... HOW?"

http://forumhub.mayyam.com/hub/viewt...=115200#115200

why none of you attempt to reply those logical Questions...

...instead of criticising me personally...? Why Not you all think PRACTICALLY....

... instead of CREATING NEW WORDS exclusively for Tamil REDUNDANTLY?

....Is it Not TAMIL-FANATICISM?... How you are helping yourselves and the posterity by this SELF-CENTEREDAPPROACH... while the present day world is transforming towards Global-outlook?

When you discuss in a Forum of Tamilians and Non-Tamilians... do you say KANINI or Computer?....

...Why you should break the Heads of Tamilians alone, especially the tender brains of Children, to know two Names for a SINGLE INVENTION Computer....What benefit you get out of it?

Why not we fall in line with the rest of the World to call all the NEW INVENTIONS ....like XRAY, ELECTRICITY, COMPUTER, INCUBATOR etc... in their Original Names, by Transliteration... UNIFORMLY all over the world?

...thus duly honouring the Intellectuals like Rajaji advises.

Dear friends ... all of you are just WASTING YOUR TIME AND ENERGY in this unnecessary task...

..which is a NEGATIVE-APPROACH of Parochialism and Fanaticism...

...deleterious for the present and future Generations of innocent TAMILIANS AND TAMILANS ONLY....

...An UNDUE AND UNWORTHY PUNISHMENT!... Caused by Chauvinism?

Any living language should keep adding new words. This is true with any language.

....Is it Not TAMIL-FANATICISM?... How you are helping yourselves and the posterity by this SELF-CENTEREDAPPROACH... while the present day world is transforming towards Global-outlook?
Coining new words is not fanatism. This is not self-centered approach.

When you discuss in a Forum of Tamilians and Non-Tamilians... do you say KANINI or Computer?....
Can you guarantee that all non-tamilians would know english?

...Why you should break the Heads of Tamilians alone, especially the tender brains of Children, to know two Names for a SINGLE INVENTION Computer....What benefit you get out of it?
so that tamil lives. look at the fate of sanskrit. we dont want the same to happen to tamil.

Why not we fall in line with the rest of the World to call all the NEW INVENTIONS ....like XRAY, ELECTRICITY, COMPUTER, INCUBATOR etc... in their Original Names, by Transliteration... UNIFORMLY all over the world?
rest of the world doesnt refer to only english speaking countries.

..which is a NEGATIVE-APPROACH of Parochialism and Fanaticism...
this is a positive approach and should be appreciated.

...deleterious for the present and future Generations of innocent TAMILIANS AND TAMILANS ONLY.
language is not just a means of communication. its much more than that. its because of the language that indians in general are considered to be good in mathematics, software and many other fields.
the language gives power.

Thanks for reply.... But it needs a detailed REPUDIATION point by point... which I will take up as soon as my health permits..

In the mean time, I invite others Views too... Pro or Anti... according to individual opinions.
