words for "father" in Tamil

From the Bhakti List Archives

Mani Varadarajan • July 17, 1998

Are there other members who address their fathers
as "aNNa" instead of "appa"?  Many Karnataka-based
Tamil people, including myself, say aNNa, and I have
heard a few other Tamil people say this.  

What do Bhakti list members say?
