Etymology of Dog family names in Indo European languages from
Tamil"Dog" is the common use term that refers to members of the
subspecies Canis lupus familiaris (canis, "dog"; lupus, "wolf";
familiaris, "of a household" or "domestic"). The term can also be
used to refer to a wider range of related species, such as the
members of the genus Canis, or "true dogs", including the wolf,
coyote, and jackals, or it can refer to the members of the tribe
Canini, which would also include the African wild dog, or it can be
used to refer to any member of the family Canidae, which would also
include the foxes, bush dog, raccoon dog, and others. Some members
of the family have "dog" in their common names, such as the raccoon
dog and the African wild dog. ( ayaam) [Water] -> ( agaam)->

egiam -> egia n. Dog; . (.) ( agaam)-> ( aga)-> akka n.
Dog; . ( ) The word akka has actually denoted Otter; only. However
it has later denoted dog wrongly. Compare: udram [Sanskrit] ->
Water -> udra [Sanskrit]. A kind of aquatic animal. udra
[Sanskrit] -> urdra [Sanskrit] An otter Irish names for the
otter mean water dog or hound, but the otter is actually the
largest member of the mustelid family.
The giant otter has a handful of other names. River wolf
(Spanish: lobo de ro) and water dog (Spanish: perro de agua) are
used. Of the more than a dozen otter species in the world (all
members of the
Subfamily Lutrinae), the Giant Otter is the largest and rarest.
It only lives in South America, and is only one of two otters
recorded in Iwokrama Forest. The other much more common species,
the Neotropical River Otter (Lontra longicaudis) lives in both
Central and South America. Otters share the Family
Mustelidae with skunks, weasels, badgers, among others. Their
curious nature, ravenous appetite, affinityfor humans, and size are
probably the reasons why these aquatic creatures are known as
"water dogs". akka n. Dog; . (.) akka (dog) -> nakka n. [Telugu.
nakka. Kannada. nakke.] Fox; . (W.) Originally the word nakka would
have denoted dog only. Later the word nakka has denoted fox in the
dog family. Therefore from the word nakka, following word was
evolved to denote dog only to distinguish fox and dog. nakka ->
nayakka n. Dog; .
We may compare the words akka & nakka denoting dog and fox
with the English Word Fox and the Tamil Word pgi . They have given
the reason that the bushy tail is also the source of words for
"fox" in Welsh (llwynog, from llwyn "bush"); Sp. (raposa, from rabo
"tail"); Lith. (uodegis "fox," from uodega "tail"). Compare: ha
& ha [Sanskrit] 1 An imitative sound.-2 A large drum.-3 A dog's
tail.-4 A dog.-5 A serpent ta & ta [Sanskrit] 1 A tail.-2 The
tail of a jackal. Fox uses its tail for its food. The fox allows
its tail to get into the hole. When the crabs get hold of the
fox's
tail, thinking that it is their food, the fox draws its tail out
and seizes the crabs. For that reason it has acquired its name from
the word denoting tail.
Actually the word fox is derived from the Tamil word pgi which
however denotes dog. It is pertinent to note that fox is included
in the dog family only. pakkam n. 1. Side; . (. . 5, 5, 5). 2.

The genetic analysis of early domestic dogs and wolves
emphasises the great resemblance between these two animals. The
lexical blurring of different canids is illustratively seen in the
way certain words for jackal and fox in some Indo-European
languages have evolved by means of extending the root variant for
wolf . A similar intertwining between dog and wolf is common in
several Indo-European branches as well (Gamkrelidze & Ivanov
1995: 432433, 505, Pokorny 1959: 1179). An illustrative example is
Estonian hunt wolf < Middle Low German hunt dog. The
etymological background of wolf in various Finno-Ugric languages
emphasises the importance of language contacts, especially the
borrowing of Indo-European words that took on the meaning wolf in
Finno-Ugric. In many cases the Indo-European word originally meant
something other than wolf. In some case such as Finnish susi
(Finnic) the original meaning of the Finno-Ugric wolf in Indo-
European was dog.
Members of the canine family (Canidae) are called canids and
include 34 species of dogs, wolves, jackals, foxes, coyotes, and
primitive (wild) dogs. Canids are widely distributed, occurring on
all continents except Antarctica. African Wild Dog Photographed in
the Okavango, Botswana Photo: Peter Malsbury *Taxonomy* Canids are
further subdivided into two major tribes or clades: the Canini
(dog-like canids) and Vulpini (fox-like canids). The Vulpini tribe
includes most Foxes (i.e. those of the Genus Vulpes) and the Racoon
dog. The Canini tribe includes wolves, dogs, jackals, Bush dogs,
Dholes and also some foxes (i.e. those of the Genus Pseudalopex and
Cerdocyon). Molecular analysis, however, indicates 4 divisions of
canids: 1. Wolf-like canids including the domestic dog, dingoes,
gray wolves,
coyotes, and jackals, which all have 78 chromosomes arranged in
39 pairs. 2. The South American canids 3. Old and New World red
fox-like canids, such as red foxes and kit foxes 4. Monotypic
species, for example, bat-eared fox and raccoon dog.
Canid Phylogeny Because of hairy tails which are hanging, people
has named dog, jackal and wolf including peacock.

The gray wolf, or simply the wolf is the largest wild member of
the Canidae family. The dog is the domesticated form of the gray
wolf. Genetic drift studies and DNA sequencing confirm that
domestic dog shares a common ancestry with the gray wolf. Eurasia
and North America used to hold most of the worlds wolf population
but the numbers have begun to dwindle due to human encroachment.
Dogs are commonly seen in any place that is inhabited by people.
For that reason, dogs and wolves were named in Tamil with the word
or from the word ny denoting dog.

ny.] Indian wolf, Canis pallipes; . The dictionary of Skolt and
Kola Saamic languages by T. I. Itkonen (1958) provides an
illustrative list of the wide range of euphemisms that are used to
avoid a direct reference to wolf. In Saami folk tradition it was
believed that one should use only a metonym for a wild beast (wolf
and bear), especially on a hunt. The reindeer owners hoped to keep
a wolf away from their heards by purposely not mentioning of its
name (T.I.Itkonen 1948: 362). The list of meanings contains such
expressions as lean guy, thin tail, the dog of God (see,
T.I.Itkonen 1948: 366367), the one on the road, the one living
outside etc. and use euphemisms instead. A euphemism may in turn
change into a taboo word. Those metonyms that have been used in
different Mansi and Khanty dialects include such expressions as
reindeer-biting-animal(man), tooth-animal (Munkcsi 1986: 482, 483,
520, 690), carcase-animal, hairy and the one who lives on the swamp
(Karjalainen 1948: 634). Some of the metaphors describe the
appearance of the wolf as hairy, toothanimal or lean (one), but
extrinsic expressions that emphasise some its behavioural features
are at least as frequent.

Vendidad's list of nations, the ninth nation listed is Khnentem
Vehrkano, shortened as Vehrkana. The Achaemenian Old Persian
version of the name is Varkana (thought to mean land of the wolves)
which the Greeks wrote as Hyrcania. Later in history, the region
came to be known of the Gorgan region of Mazandaran Province. Gorg
in Persian means wolf. Today, Gorgan is a separate province of Iran
called Golestan. In Norse mythology, a vargr is a wolf and in
particular refers to the wolf Fenrir and his sons Skll and Hati.
Based on this, J. R. R. Tolkien in his fiction used the Old English
form warg (other O.E. forms being wearg & wearh) to refer to a
wolf-like creature of a particularly evil kind. In Old Norse, vargr
denotes "wolf"
