Dear dialists,
I've lost the thread now, but a while back someone was collecting
names for dials in different languages. I was looking for something
completely different a while back and chanced upon Winslow's Tamil &
English Dictionary. Unfortunately it is only Tamil-to-English. But I made
a fruitful guess, dredged up my rusty Tamil and found it. In my pedantic
transliteration it is: suuriiya kaDii-haaram. A less accurate but more
graceful rendition would be: suriya kadiharam. (lit. sun clock).
cheers,
Peter Mayer
