Abstract

‘uuDal’ feeling of sulkiness between lovers or husband and wife plays an important role in their life. During the period of both ‘kaLavu’ and ‘kaRpu’, there may arise differences between lovers. That difference is called ‘piNakkam’ (tiff) and ‘uuDal’ (sulkiness). ‘uDaluthal’ means ‘having differences’ and ‘uuDal’ has been coined on the basis of that word. The union of lovers leaving aside the differences gave them immense pleasure. Therefore, ‘uuDal’ sets in with great importance in the life of the lovers.
