Abide in Malayalam
Two ideas live inside English abide, staying put and putting up with something, and അമരുക (amaruka) picks up the first: to settle, to stay in place. The verb is plain and unfussy, pronounced a-ma-ru-ka, and it suggests coming to rest somewhere rather than merely visiting. Malayalam has a second, more bookish verb for the sense of continuing to exist.
