c28.s7.t1.7

Cf. LT *uṟaiyuḷ muṉiyum* 'and the ascetic in the hermitage' (*Puṟa.* 96:9); *uṟaiyuḷum kōṭṭamum* 'the hermitage and the temple' (*Maṇi.* 6:137); *uṟaiyuḷ* 'dormitory, sleeping place' (*Tivā.* 979; *Cūṭā.* 5:58). *uṟaiyuḷ* may also be construed here literally as *uṟai* + *uḷ* 'in the abode'. The compound coalesced into a single word *uṟaiyuḷ* as in LT.
