What if a language does not follow the Roman alphabetical order ?

வெப்பம் (veppam) = heat.

A few people have already dealt with that when they posted Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew or Arabic words. Since you’ve transliterated that word yourself, it could be placed alphabetically as beginning with a v.

I’m resuming the alphabetical order.

Then the word will need to go where it's place would be in the Roman alphabet. The word you just posted, veppam, would be a 'v' word, for instance. Otherwise the thread will just become a mess.

zaki( male), zakia(female). it means intelligent or smart.

i don't think it's beauty, though. it means nothing to me. i don't know why i don't very much like intelligent women. i only care about her sexy body and that's it. well 90% physical attraction and 10% personality and other things.
