Abstract
P E R S O N A L P R O N O U N S I N T A M I L A N D D R A V I D I A N by KAMIL ZVELEBIL Praha 0. The purpose o f this brief n o t e is to indicate the possible develop- ment o f the system o f Tamil personal p r o n o u n s and to t r y to reconstruct the P D r forms o f the same. I have first arrived at the reconstruction o f the p r o t o - f o r m s o f Tamil f r o m within, and the next step b r o u g h t the reconstruction o f some still earlier forms, possibly PDr. Subsequently, the reconstructed forms c o m p a r e d favourably with the Dravidian e t y m a and a striking fact appeared: it seems that the P D r system o f personal p r o n o u n s has been best preserved in Ollari and Parji, partly also in Kolami and Naiki.
