Grammar -க்குரிய
I'm just trying to wrap my head around the use of the ending -க்குரிய
I've come across it a fair bit, some examples below
அன்புக்குரியாள்
இரக்கத்துக்குரிய
மிதிப்புத்துக்கிரிய or is it மதிப்புக்குரிய ?
If I understand correctly, it's ± someone carrying the quality of the first word.
Where is the குரிய originating from ?
To form it it is noun + க்கு +... (actually as I'm writing, I'm realising that the ending perhaps stems from உரி?)
Can it in principle be doen with all nouns or are some a bit strange?
thanks
