Tamil term or phrase: நீடூடி
Greetings

From a sentence kindly shared by Mr. TamilMohan in my last question. I quote:
மஞ்சள் குங்குமத்துடன் நீடூடி வாழ்க - means live long with your husband.

Please, what exactly does நீடூடி mean? Could it be an onomatopoeic expression like கணகண, படபட, மடமட etc. by any chance?

Best wishes, and many thanks,
