Hi.
I am a bit confused.

Is it "adiyEn" or "aDiyEn" (with a retroflex D)? Because "I will	hit you" is
"aDippEn", and you don't seem to distinguish between "d" and "D".

Does "adiyEn" have anything to do with "aDi" one of whose meanings is
"bottom" (maybe at the feet of the Lord?) in Tamizh?

Thanks,
Ganesh.
