Lexeme 1 kiẓavan̠
Lexeme 2 maṉaikkiẓavaṉ
Meaning 1 old man
Direction
Meaning 2 husband "Husband, as master of the house", literary "the old man of the house"
Reference Tamil lexicon: 3318
Comment Also: posssibly, the same semantic shift is realised in polysemy "kiẓavaṉ" (Tamil lexicon, 936): there are meanings (1) 'owner, lord, husband' and (2) 'old man'. However, the dictionary considers it as homonymy.
