Deficit in Malayalam
Deficit here is ലോപം (lopam), a word for something falling short, being left out or dropping away. Grammar uses it for the elision of a sound, and that bookish flavour stays with it.
Most common translation
Deficit, omission, rejection, vanishing; (gram.) elision.
കണക്കിൽ ചെറിയ ലോപം കണ്ടു.
kanakkil cheriya lopam kandu.
A small deficit was found in the accounts.
