For dialects
where ؽÔà poodu is not just a variant of ÂÕà (v)idu `completive', we place it here among the primarily attitudinal aspect
markers. Note that phonologically, ؽԥà poottu the AVP
form, is often reduced to ä¥à puttu or ¤à ptu as in ÂÕ¥à¤à vittuptu `having definitely
(mischievously) left' and ¶Ô¤½Õ¥à¤ä¥à saappittuptu
`having eaten'.
