    "150. EE adichaan copy " When I was a kid this was the explanation I got for this phrase: there was a very loyal servant who was a bit dumb too. His master asked him to put a letter in envelop & glue it exactly like a letter he had in hand. The servant promptly put the letter in the envelope, caught a fly('ee'), put it under the fold of the envelope before gumming it. The master was puzzled & asked him why he did that for which he replied that there was a dead fly under the lap of the envelope he showed. Complying with his orders to the letter he had ee adichified!

    'kazuthaikku theriyumaa kaRpoora vaasanai'' has been found to be wrong in the old proverb thread, the correct one being 'kalasaththukku theriyumaa kaRpoora vaasanai'. But 'kazuthai' is widely popular in lay people's dialogues!

    Here are some more! TN, please point out the repetitions.

    151.ee kadikkaama thEn edukka mudiyumaa?(this ee refers to thEni)

    152.kollan pattaRaiyil ee-kku enna vElai?

    153.yaanai pasikku chOlapoRi

    154.kuthirai kombu

    155.thirudanukku thEL kottiyathu pOla

    156.echchil kaiyaala kaakkaa Ottaathavan

    157.aappasaiththa kurangu

    158.kaalai suRRiya paambu kadikkaamal vidaathu
    Eager to watch the trends of the world & to nurture in the youth who carry the future world on their shoulders a right sense of values.
