DearBag  awathas, I have seen sevearal responses to the query on use of the  
term -dasi-.It seems we are fighting shy of  saying that this term is commonly 
used by tamilians to mean a servent maid and much worse a prostittute,Devadasi 
also has fallen into disrepute.
 Similarly  adiyal  in tamil circles means a mercenery. and not  the female 
form for adiyen or adiyar .Let us respect  common usage and not offend anyone.
Why  waste time on such trivia?He alone is male and wqe are all His females.
