[tscii:f3152b5e2d]“KoL” means “take over” for example, “kadalkoL” means land taken over by Sea (Tsunami). Kol means “kill”. Thalai means “muthanmai” or “head”. So “Thalaikol” means “taken over by chief” or “bring the head (without body!”. So when you intent to use, be careful. It may be grossly understood and you may end up in police station.

Sorry I am just joking… let me come to the point. In real sence it partially mean the same thing. "taken over from chief" .....

Thalaikol:
It is stick made out of the white umbrella (ven kotra kudai) of famous opponent king after his defeat (chased away. Running (showing his back!) particularly). The winner removes the sharp edges and ties it with precious stones and jewel. This stick is considered as the presence of Indiran’s son “Jayanthan”. As per silapatikaram, before Manimekalai’s first aranketram, people bring the “Thalikol” (on elephant) after washing it with holy water.

If you want to check the above just Google for “Silapathikaaram” or ask our famous forum hub Tamil historians “FSGandhi Vandayar” or “Solomen”. They may give tons of reference starting from Sindhu Civilization (totally two different meaning!)
