**b. āru** (v.) 'filled'; adjectival participle. Cf. Ta. *ār* (v.) 'to become full'; Ka. *ār* 'to be filled', *āru* 'full of'; Te. *āru* 'to become full' (D. 368). Here *āru* (LT *ār*) occurs as a *viṉaittokai* (participle without tense marker or participial suffix). See. **10.4** for further comments. The *-u* ending indicates the influence of Kannada in this region close to the border with Karnataka.
