(a) Words of Dravidian origin (b) Words of Persian origin 5. ONOMATOPOETIC WORDS
[The word appears to have been made up of two elements, namely, imdimd-tira-, an Agentive suffix; imdimd- may be the onomatopoetic expression for imitation of the sound of a bee, and hence imdim. dira- 'one who makes imdimd-sound, 'a bee'; Hemacandra considers this to be a tatsama-word meaning bhramara-, 'a bee' at D- 1 79; cf. imdimdira-occurring in this very sense in NC., PC. I, Chand. (6 19 35) and Vajja. (229); cf. MW. imdimdira- a large bee' (Prasannaraghava). ]
