Erumi-nāṭu
c23.s23.t2.2
The expression *erumi-nāṭu* occurring in the inscription at Sittannavasal-A (No. **49**, ca. 1st century B.C.) is probably a variant of *erumaināṭu* generally identified with the Mysore region (*mahiṣha-maṇḍala*) of Karnataka. The occurrence of expressions influenced by Kannada in this inscription corroborates the proposed identification.²
