marabu is related to maruvu - maruvuthal. (to embrace or adopt what has been done before ).
maRu ( + ai (suffix) gives (1) maRai, refutation, denial.
The word ethirmaRai contains this derivative. [ ai vikuthi peRRa thoziRpeyar in grammar ].
The above maRai (n) is unrelated to the following maRai (vb)
maRai [ vb] > maRai [ noun ] ( ithu vikuthi peRaamal pakuthiyE
ninRu peyarch chollaai varukiRathu ) [ muthanilaith thoziRpeyar in
grammar ] This last is the one we are considering.
Thus, maRai and marabu are not related.
Note:
B I SIVAMAALAA was shortened as bis_mala. This shortened user name was later
