மெய்யின் மாசர் விரிண் டுகிலிலார்

கையி லுண்டு கழறு முரைகொள்ளேல்
உய்ய வேண்டி லிறைவன் னறையூரில்

செய்யுஞ் சித்தீச் சரமே தவமாமே.

gollark: Anyway: I can't think of solutions for this which do *not* involve deterministically case-converting everything *or* other badness.
gollark: I mean, unix FSes are case sensitive.

gollark: Well, the issue is this:- I would be very annoyed if linking to things was case-sensitive- I can make SQLite look up stuff case-insensitively, but this would cause further bee with other components probably
