Etymology of Dog family names in Indo

European languages from Tamil


"Dog" is the common use term that refers to members of the subspecies Canis lupus familiaris (canis,
"dog"; lupus, "wolf"; familiaris, "of a household" or "domestic"). The term can also be used to refer to a
wider range of related species, such as the members of the genus Canis, or "true dogs", including the
wolf, coyote, and jackals, or it can refer to the members of the tribe Canini, which would also include the
African wild dog, or it can be used to refer to any member of the family Canidae, which would also include
the foxes, bush dog, raccoon dog, and others. Some members of the family have "dog" in their common
names, such as the raccoon dog and the African wild dog.
( ayaam) [Water] -> ( agaam)-> ( egaam) -> egiam n. 1.
Otter; (.) 2. Dog; . (.)

egiam -> egia n. Dog; . (.)


( agaam)-> ( aga)-> akka n. Dog; . ( )
The word akka has actually denoted Otter; only. However it has later denoted dog
wrongly.
Compare:
udram [Sanskrit] -> Water -> udra [Sanskrit]. A kind of aquatic animal.
udra [Sanskrit] -> urdra [Sanskrit] An otter
Irish names for the otter mean water dog or hound, but the otter is actually the largest member of the
mustelid family.

The giant otter has a handful of other names. River wolf (Spanish: lobo de ro) and water dog (Spanish:
perro de agua) are used. Of the more than a dozen otter species in the world (all members of the

Subfamily Lutrinae), the Giant Otter is the largest and rarest. It only lives in South America, and is only
one of two otters recorded in Iwokrama Forest. The other much more common species, the Neotropical
River Otter (Lontra longicaudis) lives in both Central and South America. Otters share the Family

Mustelidae with skunks, weasels, badgers, among others. Their curious nature, ravenous appetite, affinity
for humans, and size are probably the reasons why these aquatic creatures are known as "water dogs".
akka n. Dog; . (.)
akka (dog) -> nakka n. [Telugu. nakka. Kannada. nakke.] Fox; . (W.)
Originally the word nakka would have denoted dog only. Later the word nakka has
denoted fox in the dog family. Therefore from the word nakka, following word was evolved to
denote dog only to distinguish fox and dog.
nakka -> nayakka n. Dog; .

We may compare the words akka & nakka denoting dog and fox with the English Word
Fox and the Tamil Word pgi .
They have given the reason that the bushy tail is also the source of words for "fox" in Welsh (llwynog,
from llwyn "bush"); Sp. (raposa, from rabo "tail"); Lith. (uodegis "fox," from uodega "tail").
Compare:
ha & ha [Sanskrit] 1 An imitative sound.-2 A large drum.-3 A dog's tail.-4 A dog.-5 A
serpent
ta & ta [Sanskrit] 1 A tail.-2 The tail of a jackal.
Fox uses its tail for its food. The fox allows its tail to get into the hole. When the crabs get hold of the fox's

tail, thinking that it is their food, the fox draws its tail out and seizes the crabs. For that reason it has
acquired its name from the word denoting tail.

Actually the word fox is derived from the Tamil word pgi which however denotes dog. It is pertinent
to note that fox is included in the dog family only.

The genetic analysis of early domestic dogs and wolves emphasises the great resemblance between
these two animals. The lexical blurring of different canids is illustratively seen in the way certain words for
jackal and fox in some Indo-European languages have evolved by means of extending the root variant
for wolf . A similar intertwining between dog and wolf is common in several Indo-European branches as
well (Gamkrelidze & Ivanov 1995: 432433, 505, Pokorny 1959: 1179). An illustrative example is
Estonian hunt wolf < Middle Low German hunt dog. The etymological background of wolf in various
Finno-Ugric languages emphasises the importance of language contacts, especially the borrowing of
Indo-European words that took on the meaning wolf in Finno-Ugric. In many cases the Indo-European
word originally meant something other than wolf. In some case such as Finnish susi (Finnic) the original
meaning of the Finno-Ugric wolf in Indo- European was dog.

Members of the canine family (Canidae) are called canids and include 34 species of dogs, wolves,
jackals, foxes, coyotes, and primitive (wild) dogs. Canids are widely distributed, occurring on all
continents except Antarctica. African Wild Dog Photographed in the Okavango, Botswana Photo: Peter
Malsbury *Taxonomy* Canids are further subdivided into two major tribes or clades: the Canini (dog-like
canids) and Vulpini (fox-like canids). The Vulpini tribe includes most Foxes (i.e. those of the Genus
Vulpes) and the Racoon dog. The Canini tribe includes wolves, dogs, jackals, Bush dogs, Dholes and
also some foxes (i.e. those of the Genus Pseudalopex and Cerdocyon). Molecular analysis, however,
indicates 4 divisions of canids: 1. Wolf-like canids including the domestic dog, dingoes, gray wolves,

coyotes, and jackals, which all have 78 chromosomes arranged in 39 pairs. 2. The South American
canids 3. Old and New World red fox-like canids, such as red foxes and kit foxes 4. Monotypic species,
for example, bat-eared fox and raccoon dog.

The gray wolf, or simply the wolf is the largest wild member of the Canidae family. The dog is the
domesticated form of the gray wolf. Genetic drift studies and DNA sequencing confirm that domestic dog
shares a common ancestry with the gray wolf. Eurasia and North America used to hold most of the
worlds wolf population but the numbers have begun to dwindle due to human encroachment. Dogs are
commonly seen in any place that is inhabited by people. For that reason, dogs and wolves were named in
Tamil with the word or from the word ny denoting dog.

The dictionary of Skolt and Kola Saamic languages by T. I. Itkonen (1958) provides an illustrative list of
the wide range of euphemisms that are used to avoid a direct reference to wolf. In Saami folk tradition it
was believed that one should use only a metonym for a wild beast (wolf and bear), especially on a hunt.
The reindeer owners hoped to keep a wolf away from their heards by purposely not mentioning of its
name (T.I.Itkonen 1948: 362). The list of meanings contains such expressions as lean guy, thin tail, the
dog of God (see, T.I.Itkonen 1948: 366367), the one on the road, the one living outside etc. and use
euphemisms instead. A euphemism may in turn change into a taboo word. Those metonyms that have
been used in different Mansi and Khanty dialects include such expressions as reindeer-biting-animal(man), tooth-animal (Munkcsi 1986: 482, 483, 520, 690), carcase-animal, hairy and the one who lives
on the swamp (Karjalainen 1948: 634). Some of the metaphors describe the appearance of the wolf as
hairy, toothanimal or lean (one), but extrinsic expressions that emphasise some its behavioural
features are at least as frequent.

In the Avestan Book of Vendidad's list of nations, the ninth nation listed is Khnentem Vehrkano, shortened
as Vehrkana. The Achaemenian Old Persian version of the name is Varkana (thought to mean land of the
wolves) which the Greeks wrote as Hyrcania. Later in history, the region came to be known of the Gorgan
region of Mazandaran Province. Gorg in Persian means wolf. Today, Gorgan is a separate province of
Iran called Golestan.
In Norse mythology, a vargr is a wolf and in particular refers to the wolf Fenrir and his sons Skll and
Hati. Based on this, J. R. R. Tolkien in his fiction used the Old English form warg (other O.E. forms being
wearg & wearh) to refer to a wolf-like creature of a particularly evil kind. In Old Norse, vargr denotes "wolf"
