Craft in Malayalam
Craft in the sense of cunning or artful method is തന്ത്രം (thanthram) in Malayalam, a word that also carries the meanings of device, stratagem and system. None of the listed words covers craft as handwork or a handicraft trade, so take the choice as the skill-and-guile sense only. In speech it often implies a clever ruse.

വള്ളം (vallam) is unrelated to skill and means a boat or small country craft, so the two words share only the English headword.
