സംസാരം and Samsāra
are the malayalam words സംസാരിക്കുക (to talk) and സംസാരം (the secular world/cycle of samsāra) of the same etymological origin? or is the verb meaning "to talk" of a different native dravidian origin perhaps? (though i doubt that's the case)
and if both words have the same etymology, how could this semantic shift have possibly happened to mean speech or conversation in malayalam?
