chhaav
by Guest Thu May 10, 2012 8:22 pm
do pal ki chaav mili to zaroor, kabhi kabhi
lekin har baar wo beheke badal hee the
jo kabhi thaherte nahi
reh jaati to bas, wohi kadakti dhoop
chahati hoo wo ped sunahara
jiski ho chhaav ghaneri, jade atal
jo mahaka kare hamesha
mil jaye agar wo chhaav, kar loongi wahi basera

Don't know what chhaav here means. In Telugu, it means 'die!'. We have this recent Mahesh and Puri Jagannath's movie, Businessman where the hero actually curses the heroine to die. The goes as 'pilla chhaav, pilla chhaav, pilla chaav' which means, (you damn) girl die!

Ok Chhaya
the tamil word for shadow is nizhal. is there a telugu word that's close?
this website identifies a word that may have the same origin (nIda):

shadow is different than shade.
hindi for shadow is parchhai. for shade it's chhaya/chhaav. I think chhaaya means shade too.

chAyal is resemblance. but the word for shade and shadow is the same in tamil and it is nizhal.
eta: and lots of slavic languages have words for shade and shadow that seem to be congnates of chAya. greek too has something close.

the closest non-indic IE cognate i could find is finnish. you can see the word written on google translate and also listen to it:
http://translate.google.com/#en|fi|shade
on the other hand finnish is not classified as an IE language but as a uralic language which is related but not from the same root. interesting. so this might be a really really old root word.
