Answer 1

Onru(Tamil) = One(English) . It is derived as follows: Onnu (come together) --> Onru (one) Similary the following derivations: Ir (divide) --> Irandu (two) [That is, two is obtained by dividing one.] mun(break/destroy) --> moonu (three,colloq.) --> moonru (three) [Three is obtained by further dividing two.] aal (every thing) --> naalu (four, colloq.) --> nangu (four). [Four is obtained by putting everything together.] Iye (high) --> Iyndhu (Five, a large value) ar (split) --> aaru (six) [Six is obtained by further splitting five.] E (high) --> Elu (seven, old Tamil ) --> Ezhu (seven) [ A large value] ot (end) --> attu(terminate) --> ettu (eight) [The ultimate value] othu (enough ) --> pathu (enogh) --> paththu (ten) [Enough, no more] OL (break) + pathu(ten) --> On-pathu (nine ) [Not enough] nira (full) --> nooru (hundred) Aye (high) --> Aayiram (Thousand) [a large value] kodu(terminate) --> kodi( Ten million) [The end of all numbers,that is, the ultimate.] ------------------
