While interpreting the Hebrew words - I have used the following –Dravida – Sumeria -
Egyptian magical- sacred letters which I have formulated on my own. They are;

1. Aa- Aakayam- sky- at a distance ; ka- Aakayam- sky / hot ; vaa- vaanam - sky ; va> Ka ;
ka>vaa ; ki- kayam - earth; vai - vaiyakam – earth; sae/ sa - Saeyon- Suriyan –red sun; sa-
Chandran - moon; su – pachha -- water ; Ra- Orai-- sun; pa- puvi - earth- or ocean- nether
world ; an- andam - the universe - suffix for men ; Ankh- ankham part; Akh- aakku- to
create; am / ma - om - the primordial sound- great- big; thee - -Aa- thee-- fire/ heat ; da -
idi - thunder ; the -- thanni- water / cool .

2. While interpreting the words add – letters - ‘an’- and – ‘am’ routinely as prefix and suffix
–and delete the same letters –an- am- occasionally ; add other letters like –Ra- la- the – then
there as necessary while interpreting the words apart from using vowels - a – e- i- o- uoo;
the missing letters are actually ‘ pass words’ without which we cannot read the word .

3. While interpreting some words add the letter – sa- and delete the same letter- sa - while
interpreting many other words. The missing of letters of the words had been done willfully due
to many social cultural religious political linguistic reasons.

4. While interpreting the words remember - ka>vaa; vaa>ka;

Example- Aramaic word - Aruana – [ -Ra- va –[- an -]- karu varai[ Tamil ] – the womb.
 Hebrew word-- B’Bayit [-pa- va –the-] - pukuntha veedu - the house one has entered; the mother in
law’s house.

My attempt to interpret the Hebrew words[ as in Sumerian words ] strongly suggests that the Hebrew words
are words of pure Tamil - language - a classical language - which is currently in vogue in Tamil Nadu - India.
The letters are jumbled [babel-[- ‘bla bla’ -] in a given word. Hence the words are actually formulae – called as
suth’thiram or word puzzles and we have to find out the exact- correct -intended meaning depending up on
the context. Since the Dravidian Tamil people used the suth’thiram -words in writing the Tamil language was
called as suth’thira pasai /paechhu by the Sanskrit scholars in the ancient times and the Dravidians are called
as suth’thiran/sudra.

Interpreting the Tamil suth’thiram words; Example; Sumerian Marduk- has the composition- ma –Ra- the-
ka—and the meaning of the word is Thiru Murugan- Dravidian sun god; the Tamil people write
as Marduka and read it as Thiru Murugan.
