<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Thayaar is used often in Thamizh, I never thought it sounded alien. Is that Urdu? Do they have 'th' sound in Arabic (I don't know, that's why I'm asking)? Even if not, it could still be Urdu from its Persian vocabulary, I suppose. Where did you find out that it's not indigenous, Bharata? <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Sorry for late reply but didn't notice the question before, anyway here is where i found it:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->P taiyÄr, vulg. tayÄr (for A. t̤aiyÄr, 'sharp, quick'), adj. Ready, alert, willing; prepared, ready-made, finished, completed, complete; fully developed, plump, fat (as an animal, &c.); in full vigour, arrived at puberty

It always sounded foreign to me, so i looked it up.
Native as I said is either Sannaddh or Siddha.
