¹ Cani, ‘land,’ and atchi, ‘heritage’: *Report*, p. 289.—I should be inclined to imagine the atchi, like the ot and awat, Rajput terminations, implying clanship. [Tamil *kāniyātchi*, ‘that which is held in free and hereditary property’; *kāni*, ‘land,’ *ātchi*, ‘inheritance’ (Wilson, *Glossary*, *s.v.*; *Madras Manual of Administration*, iii. 58).]
