You are probably correct.

However, on this site:
http://webapps.uni-koeln.de/cgi-bin/tamil/recherche
there is a Sanskrit entry for riya. I can't really interpret the abbreviations and conventions the site uses, but I believe the entry says riya relates to rai, which means "barking, sound, noise". Maybe this is the origin of the singer theory?

Because this message is archived you cannot respond to it.
