The dictionary sites found nothing. I did find sites to machine-translate the word into written Tamil, though the fact that it wasn't in the dictionary makes me worry that it is not a real word, but I can't get the transliteration sites to re-Romanize it since I don't have a Tamil keyboard and font. Cut and paste, for some reason, does not love me.
It's for a steampunk story, and it will be the name of a political movement, if that makes a difference.
