Bolt in Malayalam
Among these options bolt is carried by താലം (thaalam), a word that also names a platter and the palm of the hand; the bolt sense is the older one, a fastening on a door. Read it thaa-lam. Because the word is so many sided, speakers usually make the sense clear from what is being shut.
