c28.s7.t8.19

The expression *kaṭumān* occurs in some contexts as the equivalent of *kaṭumā* 'a speeding horse'; however, there are many other contexts in which *kaṭumān* can only be interpreted as a personal name or title. See especially *kaṭumān tōṉṟal neṭumān añci* 'Neṭumān Añci, the scion of Kaṭumān' (*Puṟa.* 206:6; See also ibid. 162, 265 & 382).
