Tamil name for Symplocos macrophylla Wall. ex DC.:

Tamil names for:
Symplocos cochinchinensis subsp. laurina (Retz.) Noot. … கம்பிளிவெட்டி kampilivetti, பித்தக்கொட்டை pitta-k-kottai, வஸ்பா மரம் vaspa maram
Symplocos racemosa Roxb. … பட்டிகை pattikai
Hoping to coin a Tamil name for Symplocos macrophylla Wall. ex DC. on lines of English coined name – large-leaf sapphire berry
Would பெரிய இலை periya-ilai = large leaf serve as a prefix for any of the above given names ?
I am thinking of EITHER பெரிய இலை கம்பிளிவெட்டி OR பெரிய இலை பட்டிகை
Please do not hesitate to squash this query if it is cumbersome.

I think a slightly modified version of your name choice, பெரிய கம்பிளிவெட்டி Periya kampilivetti, would work for Symplocos macrophylla.

Thank you very very much dear …, for help with coining this name.
பெரிய கம்பிளிவெட்டி periya kampilivetti is very nice !!!
