I hope this puzzle mine will one day answer the real historical puzzle!

I have a word in my mind!
It's a name of a possible ancient city in South Asia!
It's possibly means in Tamil, not to hide!
There is a synonymous word that sound similar to this word, and that word is a name of another Ur in Finland! So Guess the word in my mind!

PS: Please don't make this thread in to another fun puzzle thread!

  P.N.Kumar,
  I'm sorry, I can't read that font! I can't install murasu anjal or similar programs! So, Please post in English or write Tamil using romal letters! Thanks!

  Arudko,
  
  It is much simpler, than you think, to read what Thiru P.N.Kumar writes in Tamil. All you need to do is to install some of the freely available Tamil fonts. If not for anything else, you get to rediscover the beauty of Tamil when you read Thiru P.N.Kumar's posts.
  
  It is equally easy to post in Tamil. Please get hold of e-Kalapai - a wonderful bilingual editor that is also freely available - thanks to Thiru Bala Pillai.

  Madurai Veeran,
  What I was trying to say is that, my nework doesn't allow any file with an extension '.exe' to be installed!
  I do hope to read & write to like P.N.K, Periannan Chandra, Manivanna. So I can improve my Tamil, while I hubsurf!:)

  Well, the word I guessed is karappA (Harappa).
  
  Actually in Tamil 'karappu' means to hide (maRaiththal). Just as Oda means the opposite(in a way) of Odu(m) (run), karappa is quiet opposite of karappu!
  
  For the meaning of 'karappu' take a look at the kural verses:
  1056:
  http://www.kalanjiyam.com/urai/URAI_1056.html
  You might want to also check kural verses 1051, 1053, 1054, 1055.
  Interestingly, theres a city named 'karavA' in Finland! (I'm not sure it's pronouced 'keravA' in Finnish)
  to see 'karava' go to the below site and use find in the page fearture!
  http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/3248/beerdex.
  html
  You can find 'kerava' in the following site:
  http://www.europa-tech.com/gallery/etgip061.htm
  
  For tamil the meaning of "karavA" see Kural verses:
  527:
  http://www.kalanjiyam.com/urai/URAI_0527.html
  
  1035: http://www.kalanjiyam.com/urai/URAI_1035.html
  
  The common bug, is the culprit that lurks (hide) behind potteries in the kitchen. 'karappan pUchchi' --> cockroach!
  
  Are these just coincident? Now that's a real puzzle! I don't know the answer for!

  Dear ArudkO / MV,
  
  Good observation. Yes karavaa is not hiding. kAkkai karavA karainthuNNUm!
  
  I got bugged with E rodu;-)
  
  Garbam is also a related word I think.
  
  Thanks for your kind words by the way. Please do not add me in the league of PCS & MMM. I am too small a person compared to those stalwarts.

  Dear ArudkO,
  I appreciate your comment to my writings at kurukula section. I want more of your comments in that and other sections.Your comments are highly scientific and earlier I thought I am the first to think about the tribal origin of south indian and other similar people in india instead of Aryans enslaving them.I think they got to that positions for their own advantage and in south except in Sri Lanka for the time being, they succeeded in imposing their language as a result of becoming a majority.I think this process of ORAON related tribals becoming Preset Day Hindus is happening all over India.
  
  You may contact My E .Mail

  Shudras are business men
  Brahmins are priests
  Khastrias are warriors
  vaishyas are business men
  caste was not based on color
  south indian kings respected sanskrit and tamil equally
  different castes in india represent different groups.
