**2.9** ***caṭikaṉ*** N. of the donor. He is the father of Iḷañcaṭikaṉ through whom he claims kinship with Neṭiñcaḻiyaṉ. The name is not attested elsewhere, but may probably be compared with Caṭaiyaṉ, a generic name of the Pāṇṭiyas occurring in inscriptions from the early medieval period (*SII.* XIV: Index). It is noteworthy that ***caṭikaṉ*** commences with *ca-* not permissible in LT (*Tol. Eḻu.* 62). Cf. **cam- (101.1.a, 105.1.a)**. See section 7.6.2.1(ii).
