Comparison of Syllabification

Abstract

On the topic of syllabification, the types of writing and the changes that writing goes through are compared based on the stories told by Tolkappiyam Nannool. In the Tamil grammar which was followed in the Initial method, the grammar was heavily concerned with punarchi. Just as syllabify is related to verbal grammar, it can be seen in Tolkappiyam and Nannool grammar books that devote a large part of syllabify in written grammar. In this way, it is necessary to find out about the stories that are included in the two books, Tolkappiyam and Nannool. The syllabify is one of the characteristics of Tamil language. As words continue, they join each other naturally without change and subject to deformation. This pattern is one of the main reasons why words need to be added and separated. The combination of the final letter of the adverb and the initial letter of the adverb is called Eluttu punarchi. The stories about Punarchi are told in six iyaals such as Tolkappiyam Punarial and in three iyaals such as Nannool Uyirirru Punarial. The aim of this study is to compare the rules for writing in the works mentioned in these two grammar books.
