I am sure someone or the other mentioned that one of
the meanings of tamaakhupatram is tobacco leaves,
especially if the verse was composed in the last 400
years.
And the discussion was about the more involved second
meaning tam+aakhu+patram
Is that right?

The uni-koeln dictionary gives the following words for Tobacco
Entry kalaJja
Meaning m. Calamus Rotang ; tobacco ; a particular weight (= 10 Ru1pakas)
Bhpr. ; an animal (struck with a poisonous weapon) L. [260,3] ; (%{am}) n.
the flesh of such an animal Nya1yam.
Entry tamAla
Meaning m. `" dark-barked (but white-blossomed) "' Xanthochymus Pictorius
MBh. Hariv. 12837 R. Sus3r. Mr2icch. &c. ; a sort of black Khadira tree L. ;
Crataeva Roxburghii L. ; tobacco , Siksha1p. ; sectarial mark on the
forehead (made with the juice of the Tama1la fruit) L. ; a sword L. ; m. n.
(g. %{ardharcA7di}) the bark of the bamboo L. ; n. = %{-patra} L. ; (%{I})
f. = %{tamakA} Npr. ; Crataeva Roxburghii L. ; = %{tAmra-vallI} L.
There is no entry for 'tamAkhu'
Apte does not give the meaning tobacco for 'tamAkhu'., nor does MW.
Of course Persian (and Hindi?) have it as tamAkhu. Could we justify its use
in a sanskrit quotation?
