The Infinitive seems to be formed by adding a to the root, and the verbal noun by adding tam or dam to the infinitive, as in Telugu.
Having seen= pati ; seeing=patiketi.
The similarity of the termination ikkir to the Tamil cannot but strike the most careless listener. The addition of k to the root in form ing the future is said to be not unknown in some old Tamil words. It is not-alla, there is not-illa. (In old Tamil, ungu-'I shall eat, ungumw e shall eat'.]
The Adverb. This is generally formed as in Telugu by adding ga to adjectives and nouns.
Probably vocabularies gathered from districts farther south might give slightly different results.
