Bell-metal in Malayalam
For bell metal these options give no plain name for the alloy on its own, so the nearest everyday word is ഓട്ടുപാത്രം (ottupaathram), a vessel made of bell metal. Kerala kitchens use it of heavy cast pots and urulis. Read it ot-tu-paa-thram, where the second half, paathram, simply means vessel.
