Barbed in Malayalam

The adjective barbed on its own is not here. മുള്‍ക്കമ്പി (mulkkambi) is the fixed compound for barbed wire, made from the words for thorn and wire, and it is what you call the fencing around a plot or a boundary.

Most common translation

Dictionary entry

മുള്‍ക്കമ്പി (mulkkambi) names the wire itself, so it cannot be used to describe a barbed hook or a barbed remark.
