I can only find this word at b.g.c used to refer to Tamil nationalism, not to a religion of ancestor and nature worship. —Mahāgaja · talk 09:10, 6 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

The 1998 quote seems to mean in context "Tamil-ness", the next clause explaining the paranthesized term as "the genuine way of being a Tamil". The 2002 quote does seem to refer to a religion, but not one necessarily "native to Tamil Nadu" insofar as it seems to be a new religious movement according to the description.--Tibidibi (talk) 22:37, 6 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
The plural seems to be something else, a linguistic habit: "Tamilisms were completely discarded and the language appears fresh and rejuvenated." Equinox 22:27, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
