Samalankulam (Vavnimava [Vavniya]) SAMANALAVAEVA Ancient Buddhist ruins, Listed in 1982 by Archaeo. Dep. Somasiri Labeled #101 in Vanni Buddhist sites map Disc.- 'Samalan' or 'camalan' in Tamil, Malayalm etc has no clear meaning here. It appears that the Sinhala 'Samanala' was adopted into Tamil and with an inversion sometimes noted in such adaptations. | සමනැලවැව |
| Samanthurai, Sammanthurai(Ampare) Hist.- Ancient Buddhist site, listed in Archaeo. Dept. 1982(Somasiri) list. 'Saman' is one of the 'protector gods' of ancient Sri lanka, and 'thara' is 'portal to the sea', a common place-name ending. Legend clams a meeting of 'Saman' with the Buddha in Mahiyangana, one of the most venerated ancient Buddhist sites of Sri Lanka. It also has a `Saman devala'. Mahiyangana (positioned at the A26 and A11 junction, between Randenigala and Maduruoya reservoirs), though not very close, is the dominant ancient historic location near 'Samanthara'. 'Samman' could also probably mean 'sammaana' or donation by the king, hence the 'Saman thuarai' spelling is probably a modification of an earlier form. It is also a possibility that "sammanthuari" here is a distortion of "Sankanthota", where "sanka" in Sanskrit means Conch shells (Turbinella pyrum). Dakshinavarti Shankh, or Valampuri Sanggu is a highly-valued conch shell with a right-turning spiral instead of the common left-turning spiral. Conch shell fishery existed in this region, Kirinda and Hambantota. See the entry under "Hambantota" for more details of Chank fishery etc. It has also been suggested that "Samman" is a modification of "Sampan", (See 'A Dictionary of the World's Watercraft from Aak to Zumbra' compiled and edited by the Mariners Museum 2001. ISBN 1 8617 1821. Here a sampan is defined as a Loose term used in East and South East Asia to designate various small harbour and local coastal craft". But early travellers applied the word and its variant forms more widely even to much larger vessels.) (See Guruge, Mahavamsa, 2nd revised edition, p220 for contacts with Sri Lanka as far back as 3rd century BCE.) This is a Muslim dominated region, with brutal massacres of Muslims in the 'ethnic cleansing' efforts of the LTTE.

| Sambilithurai (Yapanaya [Jaffna]) DAMBAKOLAPATUNA, JAMBUKOLAPATUNA (anchor: Dambakola) Read discussion of this ancient port under Kankasanthurei Given the degree of ambiguity that exists in the available data, we have rendered Kankesanthurai as DAMBAKOLATHOTA while Sambilithurai has been selected for Dambakolapatune This site is likely to be the port where the 'Bo-saplling' was brought to Sri lanka by Sangamitta.Howver, Denis Fernando has contested this view and claims the following: The sea port adjacent to Tiriyaya had several names at different periods. It was called Jambukola, when the sacred Bodhi tree was brought in the 3rd century B.C. from the port Tamalitti on the Ganges delta. The Sacred Bodhi tree was taken in a grand procession that lasted five days from Jambukola to the city of Anuradhapura, 60 miles away, where it was planted and remains to this day as the oldest tree recorded in history. This ancient sea port was also called Talakori Emporium by Ptolemy in ca. 110 A.C, while in 1150 A.D. in the time of Parakramabahu I, it was called Palavavanka from where he set sail with a fleet on his expedition to Burma. Today it is called Palavaki and its etymological meaning is very revealing. In the environment of the Yan Oya are also remains of Cist Burials quite different to the Urn or Pot burials near Pomparippu (Ran pariththa). The identification of a port in Jaffna Peninsula by some historians cannot be accepted as Jambukolapatuna as from all the evidence indicated above, the port of Jambukola-potana of the 3rd century B.C. has to be associated with the port near Tiriyaya Kuchchaveli, presently known as Palavaki.

| Sampaltivu (Sirigonakanda [Trincomalee]) DAMPALADOOVA Dam-pala may be "Jambu", or dam (blue berries), or a variety of plantain with dark-ash-coloured fruit. It could also be "Jambala", a type of large sour citrus (grape)fruit. | දම්පලදූව |
| Sampalthoddam (Vannimava [Vavniya]) DAMPALATHOTA This is three miles along the road to Mannarama from Vavniya. Dam-pala may be "Jambu", or dam (blue berries), or a variety of plantain with dark-ash-coloured fruit. It could also be "Jambala", a type of large sour citrus (grape)fruit. The name has been changed to Navalar-panni more recently by Tamil nationalists. | දම්පලතොට |
| Sampur, Sampoor, Champoor (Sirigonakanda [Trincomalee ]) SOMAPURA, SAMAPURA (anchor: Somapura)) Ancient Buddhist archeological site, and a modern Hindu site of the Paththirakali Amman Temple. In Tamil 'champu' could be 'bulrush (elephant grass)', 'Jambu' fruit, or 'jackal' (c.f., jambuka). That a very old city with a history could be named after some reeds etc., is not too likely. Another meaning which has accrued to Tamil from Sanskrit/Prakrit sources is 'champu ←sampu (p 3885,MTL) calm or 'saamam'. This agrees with the Pali/Prakrit/Sinhala usage in this place name. Soma (=Savumya) and "Samaa" are also, thus closely related in meaning. The stub 'oor' ← (p)oor ← 'pura' is a name for a city or town not only in indic languages, but also in Sumarian and Babylonian times. Coal-power project at Samapura, 2011 report.

| Sangupitty, Sangupiddy, Sankupiddi (Yapanaya [Jaffna]) HAKPITIYA, SANKAPITIYA Causeway, Jetty, Ferry, naval clashes near Punranna(Pooneryn). A cerry would connect the 4km lagoon from Sangupiddi to Jaavakaceriya (Chavakachcheri). However, the bridge built in 2011 ensures a land connection via Mannar to Jaffna. The word "Sanka", is Sanskrit for Conch shell. The sinhala word, Sanka or Hak, as well as the Tamil சங்கு are both derived from Sanskrit. Sankapitiya or Hakpitiya would hence refer to the fact that this part of the sea has been known for Chank (Gastropoda: Turbinella pyrum) fishery for a long time. Chank shells, or Konches ("Hakgedi") are used in Buddhist prcessions. They are considered sacred in Hindu lore, and are associated with MahaLakshmi. The sinistral Turbinella pyrum (with the spiral turning left when the apex is held up), called Dakshinavarti in Skrt., (i.e., right-turning spiral, with the apex held down) are very rare. Thus the name Sankapitiya reflects the fishing for "Hak-gedi" or Conch shells, crud See also, write up under Hambanthota. A new brdige has now been constructed, and opened in 2011. The 288-meters long bridge with two lanes was constructed under the Uthura Wasanthaya programme at a cost of 1.037 billion rupees. | හක් පිටිය සංකපිටිය |
| Sankanai, Chankanai(Yapanaya[Jaffna]) Chandana See entry under "Chankanai" | චන්දනෙ |
| Sankathanai, Chankathanai(Yapanaya[Jaffna]) Sankathaenna, Sangasthaana. This is located close to Jaavakacheriya (Chavakachcheri) and was a place of intense battles during the Eelam wars. Nerely 100 army soldiers were killed 18-Set-2000 in attemtping to free Chavakachchari from the terrorists. The etimology is not clear. There are no useful Tamil meanings. But "sanka" is common to both Sinhala and Tamil through Sanskrit and may refer to "sanku" or conch shells. Alternatively, the name may be a modification of "Sangasthaana", i.e., an abode for monks (Buddhist or Jain, but not Hindu).

| Sankuveli(Yapanaya[Jaffna]) SANKAVAELLA Disc.- 'Sanka' is 'Sak-gedi'; the name reflects the fishing for "Hak-gedi" or Conch shells, i.e., Chank (Gastropoda: Turbinella pyrum) in this area.

| Savalkattu(Yapanaya[Jaffna]) KUKULKAELE Malayalam 'caaval' also means Cock (fowl). This location has been in the news for clashes between the LTTE and SL Forces. | කුකුල්කැලේ |
| Savukkady(Madakalapuva[Batticaloa]) Kivulkara Near Serupura(Eravur and chenkaladi) Disc.- 'Kivul' water is 'brackish water. The malayalam cavar (or savar), Urdu 'safar' may mean "brakish", 'kady' → kada →, or kara which could mean "shore". Thus the Tamilized 'Savukkady' and the Sinhala 'Kivulkara' are consistent. | කිවුල්කර |
| Seeniamottai(Mooladova [Mullaitivu]) HEENI-MADE, Heenimote Near Nandakadola. Land near this area has been offered (2011) by the government as homesteads for returning IDPs who were in Maenik-farm (or Menik farm), with the ancient name `Mahathalithagama'- මහ-තලිත-;;ගම Mottai, Mottei, or `madaya' is a swampy, marshy or muddy place. The sinhala word 'mada' probably arose from 'Manda', skrt. for 'scum'. The latin word for 'marsh' is 'madeo'. The greek word 'mydos' means 'damp'. However 'mud', usually claimed to be linked to old german, may also have come from the latin 'madeo' (marsh) which may itself be connected with the Skrt. Manda → mire', as in 'quagmire', used even today in english and french (tourbiÚre). The tamil word for such a place would be 'acumpu', 'ayam', 'cakati', 'sheru', etc. The place name refers a narrow strip of land. | හීනිමඩේ හීනිමොටේ |

Another set of meanings can emerge from the following: 'cempan' refers to 'Buddhists' who wear red/yellow robes and Kundu, or 'Dummala' signifies a brownish oleo-resin. | අමිබසලාව |
| Sencholai, Chencholai, Naddalamottankulam (Mooladuva [Mullaitivu]) HENDOLA, Hengolla See also entry under Vallipunam, the location of the Tiger torture prison and Victor-I base. This area (in the aluth-kulissa or puthukudiruppe district) is also called Naddalamottankulam (Naaatu-maetta-vaeva) "Hena" is "chena", i.e., slash and burn cultivation area. This location came into the news after air strikes (August 2006) on an LTTE facility, claimed by the LTTE and certain international observers to be an orphanage, while the Govt. claimed it to be a black-tiger training facility. It has clearly been both, i.e., an orphanage where the orphans get trained for war. The songs of the orphanage, "Sencholai Padalkal" reveal much more: The tomb shall wait for me Flowers as offerings shall there blossom A memorial for me who turn into a myriad atoms The burning embers shall watch over me. The poet then describes a variety of possible deaths awaiting her -such as shells and bullets. It then runs: The poison (cyanide) I bore since I became a Tigress Shall also await me. The hawk and the hound to taste my flesh Shall stalk the field where I do battle. ...All these will I endure for my land To me a grateful nation shall arise./i (name of poet) Uthayaletchumi.

The 'balal-sera', Pheasant-tailed Jacana (Hydrophasianus chirurgus) is well known. There is also another small island known as 'Siriyativu' which probably a corruption of the name 'Seruvadoova'. | සේරදූව |
| Seruwilai (Sirigonakanda [Trincomalee]) SERUVILA, SERUVAWILA 'Sera' is a type of waterfowl (Teal, Jacana), and 'wila', or its tamilized version 'villu', refers to a lake, swamp or large pond. This is a UNESCO heritage site, some 45 km from Gantale (Kantalai). It can also be reached purely by boat, starting from Mooduthora (Muttur). It is a 2nd century BCE Buddhist shrine, said to have been built by Kavan-Tissa as mentioned in the ancient chronicles. A sacred relic (frontal bone of the Buddha) is said to enshrined in the Seruwila Dagaba. The "Bata Gutaha Lene Caduke" phrase occurs in a 2nd century CE stone inscription, and means - "The cave of Lord Gutta is dedicated to the Sangha of the four quarters." Other inscriptions are from King Kassapa IV and V, from the 9th and 10th centuries CE. The Dagaba was rediscoved in 1922 by Ven. Dambagasare Sumedhankara Thero. | සේරුවිල සේරුවවිල |

| Silavaturai (Mannarama), Chilavathurai சிலாவத்துறை (Mannarama) KIRAVATHOTA, KIRAVATHARA, SILAVATHARA, SALAAVATHAR 'Kirava' in Sinhala is a small partidge. Note the similarity to the word 'Girava' (parrot) where the 'g,r' in 'gira' change to 'kili' in Tamil for parrot. The word 'cravam' exits in Tamil (p1427 MTL). Another possible source of the word is 'Sraavaka', appears in Tamil as 'ciraavakan', and implies a Buddhist monk or adherent. The form "chalaapam" , related to the Sanskrit 'jala" may also be a reference to pearl-fishery activities in this region. But this would imply a place name "Chalaappatturai", a form which has not been found in any records associated with this region. See also the discussion under Arippu, where there is a region called Arya-Raani-Kotte, with a Dutch fort and a mansion. This has been an SL army base, captured by the LTTE in 1995s, and recaptured by the SL army in 2007. Historical | කිරවතර |
