Club in Malayalam
Careful here, because the two English clubs part ways in Malayalam. A club in the sense of a heavy stick is a പൊന്തി (ponthi), pronounced pon-thi, and the word also covers a wooden sword. For a social or sports club, Malayalam speakers normally keep the English word itself.
Club, stout rod, wooden sword, impartial observer, arbitrator.
കാവൽക്കാരന്റെ കയ്യിൽ ഒരു പൊന്തി ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു.
kaavalkkaarante kayyil oru ponthi undaayirunnu.
The watchman had a club in his hand.
All Malayalam words for “club”
- പൊന്തി (ponthi) — Club, stout rod, wooden sword, impartial observer, arbitrator.
- ചിട്ടിക്കാരന് (chittikkaaran) — Foreman of subscription lottery or chitty, member of a club or chitty.

പൊന്തി (ponthi) is the object, a stout rod or club, and curiously the same word can mean an impartial arbitrator. ചിട്ടിക്കാരന് (chittikkaaran) names a member of a club or chitty, while പ്രസിഡന്റ് (prasidant) and സെക്രട്ടറി (sekrattari) are the president and secretary who run one.
