Tam: பாசிக்குடா pāsikkuṭā – Sin: පාසිකුඩා pāsikuḍā
‘Green Bay’ EP, Sri Lanka
From Tam: pāsi/pāci, ‘green’, ‘moss’, ‘lichen’, ‘seaweed’; and kuta/kuda ‘bay, gulf, shore’.
Like its name twin in Wisconsin (U.S), Passikuda is named after the green algae that used to collect here.
Unlike its namesake, it doesn’t have a famous American football team (Green Bay Packers).
