1 For example, it is difficult to take seriously the statement that the name Ōḍra is from the root ōdu and so means “ run-away ”. The connexion of Ukkala with the Dravidian okkal is ingenious, but unconvincing and improbable. The name of the town Mukhaliṅgam on phonetic grounds can hardly be explained as meaning “ Old Kaliṅga ” ; more probably it is a sanskritized form of Muk-kaliṅgam, “Three Kaliṅgas” (= Sanskrit Trikaliṅga), abridged from a fuller title something like “ capital of the Three K.”

2 Such is the statement on p. 26 that “ no section of the Dravidians had any script of its own to the end of the sixth century a.d.”
