Dear Mr Palaniappan,
It seems that the word சோனகர்was used to designate the descendants of
Arab countries. I checked the “Cochin (Jewish) copper plates of Bhaskara
Ravivarman (Epigraphia Indica, vol.III. p. 66-69).
This term was not used.
சோனகன் / சோனகர் “ அரபு நாட்டார் (See Y. Subbarayalu, Glosary of Tamil
Inscriptions, Vol 1, p.271.
For more discussions see also, Travancore Archaeological Series, Vol.
III – part. 1, p. 40 and
SII. Vol 2. Part iv, p. 428.
Best regards.

Dear Indologists,
Is the word ‘Cōṉakaṉ’ used to describe a Christian or Jewish person in
Kerala texts or inscriptions especially ca. 11^th century CE?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Palaniappan
