Talk:ದುಡ್ಡು

@Cyrohdn3, Illustrious_Lock the middle dutch word was pronounced as /dy:t/ which wouldve been loaned as dūtu or dītu (dutch lamino alveolar stops are loaned as dentals like கந்தோர் (kantōr)) (also this) + pretty sure middle malayalam had voicing distinction from skt loans AleksiB 1945 (talk) 14:33, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Unlikley to be a native word with so less cognates. Illustrious Lock (talk) 14:35, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

kappal has only 5 cognates and ampi 4 + kannada doesnt have other dutch loans (i think), without kannada there is no linking to telugu and kodava AleksiB 1945 (talk) 14:39, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

But in this case I think that it is a loan word because there is a possible external connection. kappal and ampi don't have external connections. Let me see if Cankam literature has tuṭṭu...if not then it is more likely that it is either a borrowed word from Kannada or dutch. Even the Madras lexicon gives the dutch etymology. And what are you trying to say? That it is a native word with no connection to duit or that Dutch borrowed duit from Dravidian langs? Illustrious Lock (talk) 15:06, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Old Malayalam also had it. Illustrious Lock (talk) 11:50, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
