Distributing in Malayalam
Handing things out is വിതറല് (vitharal), the word on notices about distributing ration supplies, textbooks or relief material. The ending makes it a noun of action, so it names the act of distributing rather than one handout.
Scattering, spreading around, distributing.
വിത്തുകളുടെ വിതറൽ കഴിഞ്ഞു
vithukalude vitharal kazhinju
The scattering of the seeds is over.
