Veḷi: A Lexicon of What Gets Left Out

Field notes

The landing page arranges its case as five numbered findings, moving from the meanings of veḷi and veḷiyār to quantified readings of Sanskrit and Tamil texts. It cites 23 Rigvedic occurrences of varṇa, gives counts for Sindhu, Sarasvatī, and Gaṅgā, and discusses 471 chariots alongside the late appearance of plough vocabulary. The page also distinguishes visible textual evidence from archival absences, including a report said to have remained unpublished since 2023.
